Текст песни
[Куплет 1] Mara taped a paper sign to the corner store “Bring a dish, bring a chair, we’ll make room for more” Mr. lee rolled his grill out beside the gate Kids chalked a finish line right across the lane [Предприпев] One long table, bowls from every home By the time the first song played, nobody stood alone [Припев] Come on out, let the whole block stay Passing plates and turning dusk to day Mrs. green knows everybody’s name We’ll tell these stories when the years have changed Come on out, let the good night run Neighbors making one big family of us Under little strings of lights above We found a place to keep, a place to love [Куплет 2] Tariq brought mangoes, june brought pie Someone’s uncle taught the little ones to slide Auntie rosa laughed as the paper plates took flight We caught them by the fence and kept on dancing through the night [Предприпев] Chairs scraped back and the shy ones joined the floor Someone passed the lemonade; someone called for more [Припев] Come on out, let the whole block stay Passing plates and turning dusk to day Mrs. green knows everybody’s name We’ll tell these stories when the years have changed Come on out, let the good night run Neighbors making one big family of us Under little strings of lights above We found a place to keep, a place to love [Бридж] When the last dish was washed and the tables were bare We packed up the chairs, but the warmth stayed there Next spring, same corner, same familiar faces A bigger table waiting in the very same places [Final chorus] Come on out, let the whole block stay Passing plates and turning dusk to day Every doorway holds a little flame We’ll tell these stories when the years have changed Come on out, let the good night run Neighbors making one big family of us Under little strings of lights above We found a place to keep, a place to love [Аутро] Mara rolls the sign and saves it for next year Same street, same friends—already drawing near
