How To Be movie - Old Man lyrics

rate me

I once knew a man<br>

Been everywhere in the world<br>

Gave me a tiny ivory ball<br>

Said it would bring me good<br>

Never believed it would until<br>

I have been loving you<br>

<br>

Dear old man<br>

He'd seen most everything<br>

Gave me a piece of good advice<br>

Said it would do me well<br>

I couldn't really tell until<br>

I have been loving you<br>

<br>

Now it seems<br>

Things are not so strange<br>

I can see more clearly<br>

Suddenly I've found my way<br>

I know the old man would laugh<br>

He spoke of love's sweeter days<br>

And in his eloquent way<br>

I think he was speaking of you<br>

You are so lovely<br>

You didn't have to say a thing<br>

<br>

But I remember that old man<br>

Telling me he'd seen the light<br>

Gave me a small brown leather book<br>

Insisted that he was right<br>

I only heard him slightly<br>

'Til I heard you whisper<br>

Took you up all in my arms<br>

<br>

Dear old man<br>

Wise old man<br>

Fine old man, now<br>

<br>
