Sing Me One Old Song

Sing Me One Old Song

Sing Me One Old Song

Sing me one old song

And take me to the days when I was young.

I’ll sit in silence, listening, sing along,

Until the final words freeze on my tongue.

Let nostalgia rise, tender yet strong,

And carry me where lost days still belong.

Sing me one old song

And take me to the past where I belong.

Let every note resound just like a gong,

Till vanished faces gather in a throng.

Let night forget the hour and linger long,

And keep me wakeful, dreaming I am young.

Sing me one old song

Of roads once walked and hearts that once were strong.

Bring back the laughter time has swept along,

The hands I held, the places now long gone.

And though the years may carry me along,

For one sweet night, let memory make me young.
