Debra Davis - This Old Man lyrics

rate me

He has no skin to cover his bones He lives in the corner house all alone Sits in the window and watches the crazy world go by There you will find me by his side… He says everybody's spinnin too fast Takin' your time's a thing of the past The only one that really lasts is love you'd better give me some of that This old man is wiser This old man is true Opened up my eyes there watching the world go by from a window seat We make each other's lives complete He comes alive when the school bell rings Says “I remember walkin on wings… We counted every step and never touched the ground Now I realize we all get lost just to be found This old man is wiser This old man is true Opened up my eyes there watching the world go by from a window seat We make each other's lives complete Paint is peeling and the carpet is worn But over and over now the memories are reborn Through the window nothing's real to his eye He says “Remember once my story is told I'll realize that I am old. With a smile I'll turn the page I take my bow, you take the stage…” This old man is wiser This old man is true Opened up my eyes there watching the world go by from a window seat We make each other's lives complete
