Candles burning
|
Glasses are chilled and soon
|
She'll be by
|
Hope and pray
|
She'll say that she's willing to give us
|
Another try
|
And if all those plans I've made
|
Don't melt the lady's heart
|
I'll put on the old 45's
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
And maybe the old songs
|
Will bring back the old times
|
Maybe the old lines
|
Will sound new
|
|
Maybe she'll lay her
|
Head on my shoulder
|
Maybe old feelings
|
Will come through
|
Maybe we'll start to cry
|
And wonder why
|
We ever walked away
|
Maybe the old songs
|
Will bring back the old times
|
And make her want to stay
|
|
It's been too long since I've
|
Seen her face light up
|
When I come home
|
It's been too many
|
Hours I've wasted staring
|
At the phone
|
Sweet old songs I'm counting on you
|
To brink her back to me
|
I'm tired of listening alone
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
And make her want to stay
|
Want to stay
|
Maybe we'll start to cry
|
And wonder why
|
We ever walked away
|
Maybe the old songs
|
Will bring back the old times
|
And make her want to stay
|
