You would've been proud of me
I did everything you asked
It was a wonderful party
There were tears, there was laughter
And after I got home
I got the lights just right and I put that record on
And danced to our favorite song
So long live the old days
Your kiss in the doorway
You're close to me always, close to me always
Gone is the old pain
You're on to the next place
Your love fills this whole space
Stay close to me, baby, close to me always
Sometimes I can't leave our bed in the morning when I wake
To fix my own cup of coffee
All these years you would make it
It's like I'm waiting for you to come home
I shut the blinds so tight and I put that record on
And dance to our favorite song
So long live the old days
Your kiss in the doorway
You're close to me always, close to me always
Gone is the old pain
You're on to the next place
Your love fills this whole space
Stay close to me, baby, close to me always
Yeah, they say the good lord laughs when we make plans
So baby, here's to us for loving when we had the chance
So long live the old days
Your kiss in the doorway
You're close to me always, close to me always
Gone is the old pain
You're on to the next place
Your love fills this whole space
Stay close to me, baby, close to me always
You would've been so proud of me
