There's an old love song Deep within this heart of mine And it begs to sing out Every time you're near It's a melody that yearns for me To hold you close And to let you know I love you, being here Just an old love song Engrained into my very soul The strings of which Keep ringing in my ears And the words keep shouting out Oh, I need you so And it just keeps growing stronger Through the years Oh, like a man who's been possessed I am cursed and I am blessed With the ever-present sound Of a sweet refrain And it never lets me rest And it puts me to the test But, keeps me coming back Again and again There's an old love song I feel I must perform for you I hope you get my meaning From the start It s the same sweet words I know That you've heard others use But these are pouring Straight out of my heart There's an old love song That might make me seem out of date It describes how I would hold you every night But, I hope that my sincerity Don't come too late And you feel my love Right through till morning light There's an old love song Deep within this heart of mine And it begs to sing out Every time you're near It's a melody that yearns For me to hold you close And to let you know I love you, being here It's an old love song Yeah, just an old love song Just an old love song Ringing in my ears
