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.
Iremember 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 osng that we've all heard before
Gives us peace of mind, takes us back in time before we needed more.
We've been married for 60 years.
That's 22 thousand days of fear and laughter, peace and worry,
fight 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 osng 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 osng that bring you back home
Like a sweet old melody, you take it with you when you go
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 osng that we've all heard before
Gives us peace of mind, takes us back in time before we needed more.
