Good Old Song
Na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na
Na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na
All the world is a song and the song is painted blue
You look at me, I look at you
And we need our song to pull us through
But the melody is changin'
And the words have slipped away
And we cannot sing our good old song
Like we could in the good old days
Leavin' you sure ain't easy
I think of the summer nights we knew
I remember the way that you used to please me
But the time is now upon us
To go our sep'rate ways
Because we cannot sing the good old song
Like we could in the good old days
Don't you wanna have your chance
And try a new romance?
And I know that you will when the time is right
You'll dance upon the highest hill in the night
But tonight I wanna hold you close
I wanna feel you near me one more time
It's too bad, it's so sad but that's how it goes
And when your friends all come and ask you
Why your lover went away
Say we could not sing the good old songs
Like we could in the good old days
Say we could not sing the good old songs
Like we could in the good old days
Na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na
Na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na
Na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na
Na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na
Na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na
