Old Hearts
Eternal Love's Encore: Old Hearts Speak Volumes
Lyrics
I'd seen him there a hundred times
I have observed him in that place many times
Everybody called him pop
People commonly referred to him as "pop"
He'd sit there on that barstool
He would sit on a barstool and remain mostly quiet
And never say a lot
His communication was limited
But he had an eye for the ladies
Despite his age, he showed an interest in women
We'd tease him and he'd go with the flow
We playfully teased him, and he took it in stride
I said
The speaker interjects with a comment
''There ain't no fool like an old fool''
Expressing a generalization about old fools
He said
The old man responds, hinting at wisdom
''There's something that you ought to know''
He suggests there's something important to learn
Old hearts still fall just as hard
Despite age, old hearts can still experience deep emotions
Old dreams still go just as far
Aspirations and dreams remain powerful in old age
And it's true that time diminishes
The impact of time on opportunities
What your chances are
Highlighting the diminishing chances with time
But there's still a lot of
Despite challenges, there's a significant amount
Love left in old hearts
Love persists in aging hearts
He said, ''You don't know about being old
The old man asserts the speaker's lack of understanding about aging
But I know about being young
He emphasizes his own experiences as a young person
I haven't forgot the words to use
He hasn't forgotten the language of love
They're still on the tip of my tongue
Words of love are still fresh in his memory
And romance ain't some passing phase
Romance is not exclusive to the young
That only the young go through
Love and romance are enduring, not limited to youth
Now if you think that I'm just wasting time
Responding to potential skepticism about his time management
I've got news for you
The old man has news to share
Old hearts still fall just as hard
Reiteration of the enduring nature of love in old age
Old dreams still go just as far
Old dreams still have the capacity to reach great distances
And it's true that time diminishes
Reflection on the impact of time on possibilities
What your chances are
Emphasizing the diminishing nature of opportunities
But there's still a lot of
Despite challenges, there is a considerable amount
Love left in old hearts
Love endures in aging hearts
Then one night it happened
A turning point in the narrative
I knew when she walked in
A moment of realization as a new character enters
His eyes lit up and he tipped his hat
The old man's reaction to the newcomer
As she looked at him and grinned
Reciprocal acknowledgment between the old man and the woman
Now every time you see them
Observation of their continued affection
Out they're always holding hands
The couple is frequently seen holding hands
Side by side, arm and arm
Describing their close, affectionate connection
I guess it's in God's plans
Suggesting a divine plan in their union
Old hearts still fall just as hard
Reiteration of the enduring nature of love in old age
Old dreams still go just as far
Old dreams can still be realized in aging hearts
And it's true that time diminishes
Reflection on the impact of time on possibilities
What your chances are
Emphasizing the diminishing nature of opportunities
But there's still a lot of
Despite challenges, there is a considerable amount
Love left in old hearts
Love endures in aging hearts
There's sure a lot of love left in old hearts
A reaffirmation of the enduring love in aging hearts
