old times sake lyrics

Before you go and walk out on me
Take a look around and tell me what you see
'Cause here I stand like an open book
Is there something here you might have overlooked

And it would be a shame if you leave
And find that freedom ain't what you thought it would be

The years we had were not all bad
In fact I know the good outweighed the bad
And now you say that you've grown tired
And you want to be by yourself a while

It would be a shame if you go
And find that freedom was a long time ago

I know you can't stand for chains to bind you
But they just keep on driving us apart
And you could go where I would never find you
But could you go far enough to get away from you're heart

So one more time for old times sake
Come and lay your head upon my chest
Please don't throw this moment away
We can forget the bad and take the best

And if you don't have nothing left to say
Let me hold you one more time for old times sake
And if you don't have nothing left to say
Let me hold you one more time for old times sake
