Lyric

Old Man Kind of Love

Spoken Intro

Well folks…

They say young love burns hot and fast

But this one…

This is what they call an old man kind of love

Don’t worry

Nobody’s getting hurt tonight…

Except maybe my pride

________________________________________

Verse 1

They say it’s an old man kind of love

The kind that rarely works out right

And even if it somehow does

It probably won’t last the night

She says

“Hey boy, are you still good to go?

Can you take me up above?”

Easy now, don’t pressure me

I’m already half-mast, love

________________________________________

Chorus

So take it easy

That’s my line

Take it easy

One more time

Verse 2

They say it’s an old man kind of love

Dreams still growing tall

She says

“I wanna sail the world someday

See pyramids and Machu Picchu walls”

Machu Picchu… hold on now

My dentures might take flight

Hard enough just saying it

Let alone the climbing height

________________________________________

Chorus

So let it be

That’s my plea

Let it be

Just let it be

________________________________________

Verse 3

They say it’s an old man kind of love

Life gets complicated quick

She says

“Do you speak a little English?”

“I’m fluent — lived abroad and slick”

Now don’t you laugh

But my best line

Still goes like this again

Ladies and gentlemen…

This… is… a pen

________________________________________

Chorus

Que sera

Let it roll

Que sera

Rock and roll

Final Verse

They say it’s an old man kind of love

Maybe they’re right

We don’t bet our lives anymore

Or swing like we did at night

But sometimes in the springtime wind

Something stirs again

So I laugh and raise a glass and say

Take it easy

Let it be

Que sera

For old fools like me
