I'm Old Fashioned
Embracing Timeless Romance: "I'm Old Fashioned" by Chris McDonald
Lyrics
I am not such a clever one
I acknowledge that I am not particularly intelligent or knowledgeable.
About the latest fads
I don't keep up with the latest trends or popular styles.
I admit I was never one
I confess that I have never been someone admired by local young men.
Adored by local lads
I haven't been the object of affection for local boys.
Not that I ever try to be a saint
Although I don't strive to be a perfect person,
I'm the type that they classify as quaint
I am often considered old-fashioned and charming.
I'm old fashioned
I embrace the fact that I am old-fashioned.
I love the moonlight
I have a fondness for moonlight.
I love the old fashioned things
I appreciate traditional and timeless things.
The sound of rain
I enjoy the soothing sound of rain against a window.
Upon a window pane
I find beauty in the melodic song that April, the spring month, sings.
The starry song that April sings
I cherish the enduring aspects of life, contrasting with fleeting trends.
This year's fancies
Current trends and interests are temporary and not long-lasting.
Are passing fancies
Unlike passing trends, expressions of love like holding hands endure.
But sighing sighs holding hands
My heart understands and appreciates the simplicity of love.
These my heart understands
Expressions of affection are timeless and universally understood.
I know I'm old fashioned
I am aware that I am old-fashioned, and I embrace it.
But I don't mind it
I am comfortable with my traditional values.
That's how I want to be
This is the way I want to live my life, without conforming to modern trends.
As long as you agree
As long as you share the same old-fashioned values, I am content.
To stay old fashioned with me
Let's both choose to remain old-fashioned in our perspectives.
I'm old fashioned
Reiteration of the speaker's comfort with being old-fashioned.
But I don't mind it
Reiteration of the speaker's contentment with their traditional values.
That's how I want to be
Reaffirmation that the speaker prefers an old-fashioned lifestyle.
As long as you agree
As long as you share the speaker's traditional values, they are satisfied.
To stay old fashioned with me
Encouragement for the listener to embrace an old-fashioned mindset together.
Oh won't you stay old fashioned with me
An earnest request for the listener to remain old-fashioned with the speaker.
Oh please stay old fashioned with me
A plea for the listener to continue embracing traditional values with the speaker.
