For Ol' Times Sake

(album: Homemade Ice Cream - 1973)

Before you go walk out on me
Take a look around tell me what you see
Here I stand like an open book
Is there something here you might have overlooked
'Cause 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
But now you say that you've grown tired
You want to be by yourself a while
But it would be a shame if you go
And find that freedom was a long time ago

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

So one more time, for ol' 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
But if you don't have nothing left to say
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake

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