Old-fashioned people, they never know why
The world is changing day to day
It moves so fast and leaves them in another time

An old-fashioned dancer is dancing alone
Dreaming of those music halls
And with his lady waltzing away until the dawn

And I thought I heard him say
Please don't take my dreams away

They carry me back again, show me that life again
Carry me back to the places that I knew
Carry me back again, show me that life again
Carry me back to the places that I knew

Old-fashioned lovers, they walk in the park
Beside the river hand in hand
And hurry home for tea before it gets dark

Could be you and me one day
Time will come when we will say

Carry me back again, show me that life again
Carry me back to the places that I knew
Carry me back again, show me that life again
Carry me back to the places that I knew
Carry me back again, show me that life again
Carry me back to the places that I knew
