I'm Old Fashioned
Embracing Timeless Romance: I'm Old Fashioned by Johnny Mercer
Lyrics
I am not such a clever one about the latest fads
I lack knowledge about the latest trends and styles.
I admit I was never one adored by local lads
I acknowledge that I haven't been admired by local young men.
Not that I ever tried to be a saint
I haven't actively tried to be exceptionally virtuous.
I'm the type that they classify as quaint
I am often regarded as charmingly old-fashioned.
I'm old fashioned, I love the moonlight
Despite modern influences, I have a fondness for moonlight.
I love the old fashioned things
I appreciate traditional and classic things.
The sound of rain upon a window pane
I enjoy the soothing sound of rain hitting a window.
The starry song that April sings
I find beauty in the celestial melody that April sings.
This years fancies are passing fancies
I recognize that current trends are temporary and fleeting.
But sighing sighs, holding hands
Expressions of love like sighing and holding hands resonate with me.
These my heart understands
These simple gestures of affection are deeply understood by my heart.
I'm old fashioned but I don't mind it
Despite being considered old-fashioned, I am comfortable with it.
That's how I want to be
I embrace my traditional nature and see no issue with it.
As long as you agree
I am content with being old-fashioned, as long as you share the same sentiment.
To stay old fashioned with me.
I desire a commitment to maintaining a traditional outlook together.
I'm old fashioned but I don't mind it
Reiteration of being comfortable with the old-fashioned way of life.
That's how I want to be
Expressing contentment with the choice to be old-fashioned.
As long as you agree
Emphasizing the importance of mutual agreement in maintaining traditional values.
To stay old fashioned with me.
Seeking a commitment to remain old-fashioned together.
