Story Behind The Song

Just a silly song about a relationship I once had.

Song Description

Romantic ragtime Vaudeville 1920's type style.

Lyrics

I've gone off my old oxford shirts my shoes collecting dust
For you I wear a Monet T-shirt preferably untucked
You're a young one, you're so lovely,
I'm old fashioned through and through
You sip you're americano, for me a cup of tea will do

So suddenly and so subtly, the magic you do
You've molded all my old into new

All of my old girlfriends had their ways to put me down
My darling dear in that respect I'm smiling from a frown
You pinch me, you prod me, you nudge me with your shoe
You show how much you love me, with all the girlie things you do

So suddenly and so subtly, the magic you do
You've molded all my old into new

Don't turn away my love
It's with you whom I belong
In the beauty of a song
Don't turn away my love

Someday when I'm old and gray a beard down to my knees
Will you be there look after me, tend to all my needs
You're a live one and you know it, and you play it to the core
And when you roll your eyes my way I'm fumbling to the floor

So suddenly and so subtly, the magic you do
You've molded all my old into new, oh yeah
You've molded all my old into new
