That Old Song

1. When I was young, I was a fool
(and so were you, and so were you…)
I thought I wanted to grow up
(and so did you, and so did you)
We didn’t know each other yet,
but one day that would change…
2. When we first met, I fell in love,
(and so did you, and so did you…)
You said, “Let’s go, let’s take a walk!”
“O-K!,” I said, but then, what’s next?
Will you still walk beside me,
even when we’re far apart?
3. Remember when we wrote that song?
(that no one heard, that no one heard)
We wrote the words in just one night
(At least they rhymed, at least they rhymed…)
They sounded nice…
But did they really tell a story we both meant?
4. Ten years went by and we had changed,
(and so had you, and so had I…)
We’d grown apart, just like you knew we would,
I knew it too…
But still I wish we never stopped
Writing that song…
…the words, I mean…
I mean to say:
I still remember
how the melody had gone
It went like this…
This IS the tune…
The tune to that old song!

[1]
I am walking like I know the way
and I do not want to waste the day
after all you only live once...
at least, that's the story I'm going with
this time around
[2]
Yesterday I called up my friend
tried to share the thoughts in my head.
but as I spoke, my thoughts vanished, like smoke!
so I told a bad joke...
instead of the things that keep me up at night
That it's hard to tell what's wrong, what's right
but at least I called, at all…
it's the thought that counts...
at least, that's the story I'm going with
this time around
[3]
Read the papers, watch the news
so divided;
which side do you choose?
of course, there's more to the story
we've been here before, we've...
heard all the lies...
and boy, how time flies...
perhaps it'd be wise
to turn off the news
and put on my shoes,
Take a walk, take a breath
take a break from it all.
call a friend, lend a hand,
use your voice, write a poem, sing a song!
but don't take too long,
because one day
it
all
ends...
[4]
…after all you only live once...
at least, that's the story I'm going with
this time around
