Barry Manilow - The Old Songs Lyrics

Candles burning, glasses are chilled
And soon she'll be by
Hope and pray, she'll say
That she's willing to give us another try
And if all those plans I've made
Don't melt the lady's heart, I'll put on the old '45s

And maybe the old songs will bring back the old times
Maybe the old lines will sound new
Maybe she'll lay her head on my shoulder
Maybe old feelings will come through

Or maybe we'll start to cry
And wonder why we ever walked away
Maybe the old songs will bring back the old times
And make her wanna stay

It's been too long since
I've seen her face light up when I come home
It's been too many hours
I've wasted staring at the phone
Sweet old songs, I'm counting on you
To bring her back to me
I'm tired of listening alone

Maybe the old songs will bring back the old times
Maybe the old lines will sound new
Maybe she'll lay her head on my shoulder
Maybe old feelings will come through

Or maybe we'll start to cry
And wonder why we ever walked away
Maybe the old songs will bring back the old times
And make her wanna stay
And make her wanna stay, wanna stay

Or maybe we'll start to cry
And wonder why we ever walked away
Maybe the old songs will bring back the old times
And make her want to stay
