    Story Behind the Song
    I was performing in a coffeeshop, and the owner remarked that my speaking voice sounded like Mr. Rogers. So I wrote this song on the spot.

    Lyrics
    girl i'm just a lonely old man
    sitting with my favorite loafers on
    living in a perfect neighborhood
    where everything’s right, nothing goes wrong

    i just don't want to be lonely anymore
    and crawl inside my head again
    but if it's a bad day no one will see me
    slipping off to make-believe land

    [it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
    would you be, could you be
    it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
    would you be, could you be my neighbor...
    could you be my neighbor]

    if no one else notices me today
    my imaginary friends, they’ll still care
    but i want to reach out and touch someone
    just to know they're really there

    [chorus]

    i'll put my favorite sweater on
    and sit here by the telephone all day
    but if it's a bad day again
    i'll take this trolley to make-believe land

    [chorus]
