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
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

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

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
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
Want to stay

And 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
