[Verse 1]
Sometimes life gets in the way of living life
Places to go and bills to pay, honey, not tonight

[Chorus]
If the phone don't ring and the world don’t call
Honey, that don't bother me at all
And to tell the truth, there's nothing I’d rather do
Than to hold your hand on the front porch swing
While the moon smiles down and the crickets sing
It's my favorite thing sittin' here talkin' with you

[Verse 2]
I wouldn't mind hearing everything that's on your mind
A night like this is hard to find, where all we've got is time

[Chorus]
If the phone don't ring and the world don’t call
Honey, that don’t bother me at all
And to tell the truth, there's nothing I’d rather do
Than to hold your hand on the front porch swing
While the moon smiles down and the crickets sing
It's my favorite thing sittin' here talkin' with you

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
When the years have flown on by and we’re old and gray
When the kids are grown and moved away
Right here is where I want to stay

[Chorus]
If the phone don't ring and the world don't call
Honey, that don't bother me at all
And to tell the truth, there's nothing I'd rather do
Than to hold your hand on the front porch swing
While the moon smiles down and the crickets sing
It's my favorite thing sittin' here talkin' with you
It's my favorite thing sittin' here talkin' with you
