The Country Life by Peter Cincotti Lyrics

Time can fly and days go by
It's speed we can't control
It's been 30 years of city life
And now we're growing old

There's nothing more we're needed for
And there's nothing left to do
So let's spend the autumn years ahead of us
Like the summers of our youth

I never knew how much we had back then
But it's not too late to have it all again

I wanna wake up to the music of hummingbirds and harmony
I wana feel the morning sunlight filling up the room
I wanna listen to the silence that's singing through the scenery
I wanna smell the roses of our love the day they bloomed

Let's go back and find
The simple world we knew
'cause I still wanna live again
The country life with you
Country life with you
Taxi cabs and traffic jams
And subways on the ground
Don't you miss the days when all we hear
The nature's quiet sounds

I'm tired of just remembering
When their memories left to make
Just you and me in a hundred miles of greenery and lake

Oh take me to that peaceful place I miss
'cause I can't spend another day like this

I wanna wake up to the music of hummingbirds and harmony
I wana feel the morning sunlight filling up the room
I wanna listen to the silence that's singing through the scenery
I wanna smell the roses of our love the day they bloomed

Let's go back and find
The simple world we knew
'cause I still wanna live again
The country life with you

Don't it let be another thing
You always meant to do
Just let me live again
The country life with you
Country life with you
