Big New World Lyrics - Steve Forbert

What a big new world 

Is it all this tall? 

Shelves in the den 

And the fan blades that spin 

Seem far away; 

On my hands and knees 

I can crawl the hall, 

Wide open door 

To the warm carpet floor 

Says, "Please come through." 

When I'm alone and in my room 

And lights are low, 

I want some more of all those things 

That make time go; 

I like the strange and changing 

Daytime sights and sounds 

And I like that ev'ning fun 

When everyone's around. 

In the pots and pans 

I enjoy myself; 

Food I'll consume 

If I hold my own spoon 

In my own way. 

When I'm alone and in my room 

And lights are low, 

I want some more of all those things 

That make time go; 

I like the strange and changing 

Daytime sights and sounds 

And I like that ev'ning fun 

When everyone's around. 

Let me laugh with you, 

Toss me high and smile; 

Sleep what a bore, 

What's the point? What's it for? 

And why so soon? 

When I'm alone and in my room 

And lights are low, 

I want some more of all those things 

That make time go; 

I like the strange and changing 

Daytime sights and sounds 

And I like that ev'ning fun 

When everyone's around. 

Oh la, la, la, etc. 

What a big new world.
