Love - Old Man lyrics

Verse 1:<br>I once knew a man<br>Been everywhere in the world<br>Gave me a tiny ivory ball<br>Said it would bring me good<br>Never believed it would until<br>I have been loving you<br><br>Verse 2:<br>Dear old man<br>He'd seen most everything<br>Gave me a piece of good advice<br>Said it would do me well<br>I couldn't really tell until<br>I have been loving you<br><br>Bridge:<br>Now it seems<br>Things are not so strange<br>I can see more clearly<br>Suddenly I've found my way<br>I know the old man would laugh<br>He spoke of love's sweeter days<br>And in his eloquent way<br>I think he was speaking of you<br>You are so lovely<br>You didn't have to say a thing<br><br>Verse 3:<br>But I remember that old man<br>Telling me he'd seen the light<br>Gave me a small brown leather book<br>Insisted that he was right<br>I only heard him slightly<br>'til I heard you whisper<br>Took you up all in my arms<br><br>Coda:<br>Dear old man<br>Wise old man<br>Fine old man, now
