about

The ASCAP Foundation recognized this song with the 2023 Alan and Marilyn Bergman Lyric Award

lyrics

Come on let's go outside
Don't want to take a drive
Let's Wander
Choose a direction and go
Let's Wander
At least ten blocks or so

The forecast says it's warm
There's no chance for a storm
Let's Wander
Don't know what we're gonna find
Let's Wander
We'll leave our maps behind

We can stop when we see a facade that's unique
We can go to a park where the WiFi is weak
And weave past the hipsters
Who are out for a jog

We can stop at a shop that we see on the way
Buy a bottle or two at a corner cafe
Have a drink in the dog park
Tho we don't have a dog

We'll have a walking date
Don't need to stay out late
Let's Wander
Make sure to cross on the green
Let's Wander
It sure beats staring at screens

Who knows what's looking good
Beyond our neighborhood
Let's Wander
No destination or goal
Let's Wander
Let's set out on a stroll

Past forts from long ago
Through alleys we don't know
Let's Wander
Finding a path in the shade
Let's Wander
It's an afternoon parade

We may hear from the sparrows above in a tree
Or a student whose trumpet is slightly off key
As she practices playing
A familiar song

We may stumble upon some unusual art
Or a cat hiding out in a grocery cart
There's no end of surprises
As we wander along

One stop before we're done
To watch the setting sun
Let's Wander
No other place I would be
Let's Wander
Through the city, you, and me
