Lyrics
Turnin' Over An Old Leaf
By Michael Porter and Kathy Gordon ©2021
V1
I used to smoke and drink a bit
I'd come home late and be half lit
I know my ways brought her pain
For a man my age, it's hard to change
V2
I'll admit, I played around
With every second chance I let her down
My whole life was one big lie
That's not me now. I'm not that guy
CHORUS
See I'm turning over an old leaf
All I've done is cause her grief
I hope the news brings some relief
Cause I'm turning over an old leaf
V3
They say old habits are hard to break
I've gotta change for Heaven's sake
Some may say I've lost it all
(But) grace will lift me from my fall
CHORUS
Yes I'm turning over an old leaf
All I've done is cause her grief
I hope the news brings some relief
Cause I'm turning over an old leaf
BRIDGE
This old leaf was surely bound
To fall and hit the hardest ground
Lord, help me make a turnaround
CHORUS
Yes I'm turning over an old leaf
All I've done is cause her grief
I hope the news brings some relief
Cause I'm turning over an old leaf
