Lyrics
Said it would do me well, took you up all in my arms
Fine old man, gave me a small brown leather book Love, said it would bring me good
Now it seems, he spoke of love s sweeter days
gave me a piece of good advice
Insisted that he was right, dear old man, i think he was speaking of you
And in his eloquent way, things are not so strange, fine old man
things are not so strange
never believed it would until
Fine old man, said it would bring me good, been everywhere in the world
he d seen most everything
dear old man
But i remember that old man, he spoke of love s sweeter days
gave me a small brown leather book
gave me a tiny ivory ball
But i remember that old man, now it seems
You didn t have to say a thing, i think he was speaking of you
You are so lovely, fine old man, took you up all in my arms
Dear old man, things are not so strange Old, i can see more clearly
said it would do me well
Said it would do me well, he spoke of love s sweeter days
And in his eloquent way, been everywhere in the world
Suddenly i ve found my way, things are not so strange, i think he was speaking of you
Now it seems, gave me a small brown leather book
and in his eloquent way
Fine old man, been everywhere in the world Love, gave me a small brown leather book
and in his eloquent way
i can see more clearly
But i remember that old man, gave me a piece of good advice, i once knew a man
Fine old man, insisted that he was right
Never believed it would until, things are not so strange Old, he spoke of love s sweeter days
Wise old man, you didn t have to say a thing, fine old man
Dear old man, never believed it would until, i have been loving you
Wise old man, never believed it would until
Dear old man, i think he was speaking of you
