Ancient History
Love's Resilience: Ancient History in Pam Tillis' Song
Lyrics
We can talk and talk all night
We can converse extensively through the night.
If you want to that's all right
It's acceptable if you desire to do so.
Till I've heard every word you've got to say,
Until I've listened to everything you wish to express,
Go ahead and take your time
Feel free to take your time,
If you've got something on your mind
If there's something bothering you,
But it won't change the way I feel anyway
But it won't alter my emotions in any case.
That's ancient history to me now
What you're discussing is no longer significant or impactful to me.
Something we don't have to talk about
It's a topic we need not address.
You know I love you anyhow
My affection for you remains regardless.
That's ancient history to me now
That's in the past and irrelevant to me now.
There's a tale you've got to tell,
There's a narrative you feel compelled to share,
How you stumbled and then you fell
About your struggles and missteps,
But I guess I knew that all along,
But I probably already had an understanding of it,
And, my love, there's time when we
And, darling, there are times when we
Are weaker than we'd like to be,
Are more vulnerable than we'd prefer,
And I could tell some stories of my own
And I could share my own experiences too.
That's ancient history to me now
It's all in the past and inconsequential to me now.
Something we don't have to talk about
It's not something we need to discuss.
You know I love you anyhow
My love for you endures despite this.
That's ancient history to me now
That's all part of history now and irrelevant to me.
