Old Fools
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Old fools, dancing
Old fools who believe
That they can dance and sing
And fall in love
After all: love?
Old wines, old shoes
Old lines who'd have thought
They would ever reuse
Like, I love you
Surprise! I love you
Flowers, long drives
Old fools, new lives
Old fools, dancing
Old rules take a backseat
To new romancing
Long drives, flowers
Old fools, new lovers.
