The Old Songs - Billy Joe Royal

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 these plans i made

Don’t melt the lady’s heart

I’ll put on the old forty-fives

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 some 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, oh oh

It’s been too long without

Seeing her face light up

When I come home

Been to many hours I’ve waited

Staring at the phone

Sweet old songs I’m counting on you

Bring her back to me

I’m tired of listening alone

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 some 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, oh oh

And make her want to stay
