I'm Old Fashioned
Embracing Timeless Romance: I'm Old Fashioned by Paul Desmond
Lyrics
I am not such a clever one
I acknowledge that I am not exceptionally clever or knowledgeable.
About the latest fads
I am not well-versed in the latest trends or fashions.
I admit I was never one
I confess that I have never been someone admired by local young men.
Adored by local lads
Local guys have not shown affection or admiration towards me.
Not that I ever try to be a saint
I don't make an effort to be morally upright or virtuous.
I'm the type that they classify as quaint
I am often labeled as old-fashioned or charmingly old-fashioned.
I'm old fashioned
I identify myself as old-fashioned.
I love the moonlight
I have an affinity for moonlight.
I love the old fashioned things
I appreciate and love traditional things.
The sound of rain
I enjoy the sound of rain against a window pane.
Upon a window pane
I find beauty in the starry song that April sings.
The starry song that April sings
This year's trends are fleeting and temporary.
This year's fancies
Fancies or preferences of this year are passing and not long-lasting.
Are passing fancies
Expressing affection by sighing and holding hands is timeless and meaningful.
But sighing sighs holding hands
My heart understands and values these timeless expressions of love.
These my heart understands
I recognize that I am old-fashioned, and I accept it without objection.
I know I'm old fashioned
Despite being old-fashioned, I am comfortable with it and don't find it bothersome.
But I don't mind it
This is the way I prefer to be.
That's how I want to be
As long as you agree with my old-fashioned sensibilities.
As long as you agree
It's acceptable to me as long as we share a commitment to being old-fashioned together.
To stay old fashioned with me
Expressing a desire for a shared commitment to old-fashioned values in the relationship.
I'm old fashioned
Reiteration of being old-fashioned and being comfortable with it.
But I don't mind it
Expressing contentment with being old-fashioned.
That's how I want to be
Reiterating the preference for an old-fashioned lifestyle.
As long as you agree
Expressing contentment with being old-fashioned.
To stay old fashioned with me
Seeking agreement from the partner to stay old-fashioned together.
Oh won't you stay old fashioned with me
An appeal for the partner to remain old-fashioned.
Oh please stay old fashioned with me
A plea for the partner to continue embracing old-fashioned values in the relationship.
