Lyrics

You tell me it’s an old fashioned rhyme
One that I should probably never use
But it bears repeating
No matter what you say
So maybe I think I’ll say it again to you

And you’ll laugh just until you cry
Then smile from all that we’ve been through
When I look to the left
And I look to the right
Well it’s only when I look up that I see you

So if an old fashioned guy left the lights on
And sat upon a porch swing dreaming
Of a day you’d walk through
I’ll be waiting on you
And trying to find the right words
The right words to come through

You slipped away just before your time
Oh, it’s probably how it should be
So I threw away every thing that was left on the shelves
Everything but the memories of you

Old fashioned rhymes
Have been lost in our times
That novocain to numb through
The pain in our hearts
All the lives that we’ve lost
You can’t afford to miss another moment 

You tell me I'm an old fashioned guy
Yeah, it’s probably a little true
But this bears repeating
No matter what you say
So maybe I think I’ll say it again to you

I love you still
And I always will
No matter what you think
Or what mere words say

And I can’t find the line
And I can’t find a better rhyme
No matter what you think
Or what the world says

You slipped away just before your time
Yeah and it's probably how it should be
So, I threw away everything that was left of the shelves
Everything but the memories of you
