Lyrics
Take It From An Old Friend
© 2019 Hank Thomas/ all rights reserved
V1
Been sittin' out here on my front porch, lookin' at the view
Across this dusty gravel road here, but all I see is you
We shared long summers on your backyard swings, I was thinkin' even then
How I wish we'd spend our whole lives here and summer'ed never end
PreCH
You've been tryin real hard to find somebody to love you from the start
I've seen them young bucks come and go, they always break your heart
CH
So take it from an old friend I know a real man
Who loves you more than any of those others can
I'm tired of all these childish games I need to know if you feel the same
So here I here I am, my heart is in your hands
Take it from an old friend
V2
I could tell, first day we met, you were special even then
Didn't take no time to realize we're so much more than friends
You know all my hopes and fears, I know all your dreams
Sometimes what you been searching for is closer than it seems
PreCH
So I'm running across this dusty road and I'm knocking on your door
I can't keep the way I feel, a secret anymore
CH
Take it from an old friend I know a real man
One who loves you more, than any of those others can
I'm tired of all these childish games I need to know if you feel the same
So here I here I am, my heart is in your hands
Take it from an old friend
CH ALT
Take it from an old friend I know a real man
One who loves you more than any of those others can
I'm tired of all these childish games I need to know if you feel the same
Here I am, my heart is in your hands
So take it from an old friend Take it from an old friend
