Dear Old Man of Mine Songtext
von Linda Thompson

Here′s to the mind that we thought was dead
Singing like he's got a gun to his head
Hanging on sweet notes and the thread
Dear old man of mine

Here′s to a father ofttimes blessed
Here's to the child that he loved best
Does anybody care what happened to the rest?
Dear old man of mine


Here's to the dreams that went awry
And to the tears I could not cry
For it was long ago that I said goodbye
To that dear old man of mine

I don′t know why I′m crying
Oh, maybe it's because we can′t go back
There is no use denying
This is the way it never was
Many a heart has proved untrue
Here's to me
And here′s to you
Let's say farewell
Let′s say adieu
To that dear old man of mine
To that dear old man of mine
