Old Hearts

I'd seen him there a hundred times
Everybody called him pop
He'd sit there on that barstool
And never say a lot
But he had an eye for the ladies
We'd tease him and he'd go with the flow
I said
''There ain't no fool like an old fool''
He said
''There's something that you ought to know''
Old hearts still fall just as hard
Old dreams still go just as far
And it's true that time diminishes
What your chances are
But there's still a lot of
Love left in old hearts
He said, ''You don't know about being old
But I know about being young
I haven't forgot the words to use
They're still on the tip of my tongue
And romance ain't some passing phase
That only the young go through
Now if you think that I'm just wasting time
I've got news for you
Old hearts still fall just as hard
Old dreams still go just as far
And it's true that time diminishes
What your chances are
But there's still a lot of
Love left in old hearts
Then one night it happened
I knew when she walked in
His eyes lit up and he tipped his hat
As she looked at him and grinned
Now every time you see them
Out they're always holding hands
Side by side, arm and arm
I guess it's in God's plans
Old hearts still fall just as hard
Old dreams still go just as far
And it's true that time diminishes
What your chances are
But there's still a lot of
Love left in old hearts
There's sure a lot of love left in old hearts
