I'm Old Fashioned
Embracing Timeless Romance: I'm Old Fashioned by Dave Brubeck
Lyrics
I am not such a clever one
I don't consider myself clever or up-to-date
About the latest fads
I'm not knowledgeable about the latest trends
I admit I was never one
I confess I never attracted the attention of local guys
Adored by local lads
I wasn't popular among the local boys
Not that I ever try to be a saint
I don't actively try to be morally perfect
I'm the type that they classify as quaint
I am seen as old-fashioned or charmingly old-fashioned
I'm old fashioned
Expressing acknowledgment of being old-fashioned
I love the moonlight
I appreciate the romantic atmosphere of moonlight
I love the old fashioned things
I have an affection for traditional things
The sound of rain
The soothing sound of rain on a window pane appeals to me
Upon a window pane
Referring to the beautiful melody of rain in April
The starry song that April sings
The starry, romantic song associated with the month of April
This year's fancies
New trends or fashions of the current year
Are passing fancies
Temporary or passing fancies
But sighing sighs holding hands
Expressing understanding and appreciation for simple romantic gestures
These my heart understands
The speaker finds deeper meaning in shared moments
I know I'm old fashioned
Acknowledging and embracing being old-fashioned
But I don't mind it
The speaker is comfortable with their old-fashioned nature
That's how I want to be
Expressing a preference for an old-fashioned lifestyle
As long as you agree
As long as the listener agrees to be old-fashioned together
To stay old fashioned with me
An invitation for the listener to stay old-fashioned with the speaker
I'm old fashioned
Reiteration of being old-fashioned
But I don't mind it
Reiterating comfort with being old-fashioned
That's how I want to be
Reiterating a preference for an old-fashioned lifestyle
As long as you agree
Reiterating the importance of mutual agreement on being old-fashioned
To stay old fashioned with me
Requesting the listener to stay old-fashioned with the speaker
Oh won't you stay old fashioned with me
Expressing a desire for the listener to remain old-fashioned
Oh please stay old fashioned with me
An earnest plea for the listener to stay old-fashioned with the speaker
