You would've been proud of me I did everything you asked It was a wonderful party There were tears, there was laughter And after I got home I got the lights just right and I put that record on And danced to our favorite song
So long live the old days Your kiss in the doorway You're close to me always, close to me always Gone is the old pain You're on to the next place Your love fills this whole space Stay close to me, baby, close to me always
Sometimes I can't leave our bed in the morning when I wake To fix my own cup of coffee All these years you would make it It's like I'm waiting for you to come home I shut the blinds so tight and I put that record on And dance to our favorite song
So long live the old days Your kiss in the doorway You're close to me always, close to me always Gone is the old pain You're on to the next place Your love fills this whole space Stay close to me, baby, close to me always
Yeah, they say the good Lord laughs when we make plans So, baby, here's to us for loving when we had the chance
So long live the old days Your kiss in the doorway You're close to me always, close to me always Gone is the old pain (gone) You're on to the next place (you're gone) Your love fills this whole space (you fill it up) Stay close to me, baby, close to me always
