I'm Old Fashioned
Embracing Timeless Love: Johnny Smith's 'I'm Old Fashioned' Essence
Lyrics
I am not such a clever one
I acknowledge that I am not exceptionally clever or knowledgeable.
About the latest fads
I lack awareness about the latest trends or fashions.
I admit I was never one
I confess that I have never been the object of admiration by local young men.
Adored by local lads
I have not actively sought attention or popularity.
Not that I ever try to be a saint
I don't pretend to be morally superior; I am not a saint.
I'm the type that they classify as quaint
People categorize me as old-fashioned or out-of-date.
I'm old fashioned
I identify myself as old-fashioned.
I love the moonlight
I appreciate the romantic atmosphere created by moonlight.
I love the old fashioned things
I cherish traditional and classic things.
The sound of rain
I find joy in the soothing sound of rain on a window pane.
Upon a window pane
I enjoy the celestial melody that April sings through stars.
The starry song that April sings
I appreciate enduring and timeless sentiments.
This year's fancies
Current trends are temporary and fleeting.
Are passing fancies
Temporary interests come and go.
But sighing sighs holding hands
Expressions of love through simple gestures are lasting and meaningful.
These my heart understands
I understand and appreciate genuine emotions like holding hands.
I know I'm old fashioned
I am aware that I am old-fashioned.
But I don't mind it
Despite being old-fashioned, I am comfortable with it.
That's how I want to be
This is the way I choose to be.
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 invite you to stay old-fashioned with me.
I'm old fashioned
Reiteration of being old-fashioned.
But I don't mind it
Reiteration of being comfortable with being old-fashioned.
That's how I want to be
Reiteration of choosing to be old-fashioned.
As long as you agree
Reiteration of contentment with being old-fashioned, conditional on mutual agreement.
To stay old fashioned with me
Reiteration of the invitation to stay old-fashioned together.
Oh won't you stay old fashioned with me
A plea for the other person to remain old-fashioned.
Oh please stay old fashioned with me
An additional request for the person to stay old-fashioned.
