about

Sometimes the simplest lessons we learn as kids turn out to be the most important. Special thanks to my daughter Ceci for providing the wonderful artwork she created when she was only 4 years old!

lyrics

NEIGHBORLY LOVE open D tuning

In Minnesota when I grew up, every time it would snow
We had to shovel our whole driveway, we didn’t have a snowblower
But once in awhile our neighbor Joe saved us with his machine
I remember you, thank you Joe, you were a hero to me
Thanks for that

CHORUS:
Neighborly Love
Neighborly Love

And on Sunday morning we’d all dress up, and off to church we would go
To learn all about the important stuff, important things we should know
And I didn’t always understand the Bible stories back then
But I have to say one thing made sense that I heard again and again
I heard about

CHORUS:

Nowadays I find myself returning
To lessons that so long ago I heard
Because I am still trying and still learning
How to live those very simple words


And every September that came around brought the first day of school
And the teacher would make us say out loud the words of the golden rule
She said that’s all that you need to know to be kind and be good
Love your neighbor and remember that the whole world is your neighborhood
Remember that

CHORUS:
