Old Song

Intro: I had the notion to put life in motion. Make it breath. Make it read like an old gospel devotion. But when I close my eyes, surprised to find That what I carry with me is inescapably Just like an old song that brings you back home Like a sweet old melody, you take it with you when you go Like an old song that we’ve all heard before Gives us peace of mind, takes us back in time before we needed more. Break: I remember the day I lost your voice but could see your face Saying ‘What’s up kid’ with half a smile and a spirit that could stretch half a mile And I mourned you all over again, but I remember when I waited for you patiently so we could sing That old song that brings you back home Like a sweet old melody, you take it with you when you go Like an old song that we’ve all heard before Gives us peace of mind, takes us back in time before we needed more. Break: We’ve been married for 60 years. That’s 22 thousand days of fear and laughter, peace and worry, fighting and making up. And after all that’s changed I still feel the same As that day in 1954 when I said I’d always be yours Like an old song that brings you back home Like a sweet old melody, you take it with you when you go Like an old song that we’ve all heard before Gives us peace of mind, takes us back in time before we needed more. Let me sing it to you like an old song that brings you back home Like a sweet old melody, you take it with you when you go Like an old song that we’ve all heard before Gives us peace of mind, takes us back in time before we needed more. Break: Fading: (Hold) End.
