Lyrics:
LIKE AN OLD PORCH SWING
Janey was just seventeen
The girl who lived next door
At times our love was like a rock
And at times it seemed unsure
One summer night we sat alone
On an old porch swing
And when I put my arm around that girl
She began to sing, she sang
Love comes with highs and lows
Like an old porch swing
Sometimes you're on the clouds it seems
Then you fall back again
Love can sometimes hold you down
But love can give you wings
Oh love comes with highs and lows
Like an old porch swing
Janey was just twenty-one
And angel dressed in white
I lfted up her wedding veil
And I kissed her as my wife
The years went by but there where times
We said some things that hurt
But when I thought of walking out on love
I'd hear Janey's words
(Repeat Chorus)
I feel like an old man
Reminiscing until it hurts
Alone on that porch swing
Wondering why the Lord took her first
But sometimes when I'm just sitting there
I swear to God I hear
The sound of Janey's voice
As she whispers in my ear
Love comes with highs and lows
Like this old porch swing
Sometimes I'm on a cloud it seems
Then I'm right back again
Love can sometimes hold me down
But your love gave me wings
Oh love comes with highs and lows
Like this old porch swing
You know love comes with highs and lows
Like an old porch swing
