"The Older The Violin, The Sweeter The Music" lyrics

The Older The Violin, The Sweeter The Music

It seems you think that fourty-five
Is just a little too old now
But I'm not ready yet to be
Put out in the cold now

I've got plenty of good love left
Woman, if you'll just use it
You know the older the violin
The sweeter the music

And I can play
A symphony of love
Like a thousand violins
Singing from above
You're gonna really miss my loving
One day when you lose it
You know the older the violin
The sweeter the music

These specks of gray that's in my hair
Just make me look distinguished
They don't mean I'm over the hill
Baby, I'm not extinguished
There's plenty of young girl's waiting for my love
Honey, they won't refuse it
They know the older the violin
The sweeter the music

And I can play
A symphony of love
Like a thousand violins
Singing from above
You're gonna really miss my loving
One day when you lose it
You know the older the violin
The sweeter the music

I can play
A symphony of love
Like a thousand violins
Singing from above
You're gonna really miss my loving
One day when you lose it
You know the older the violin
The sweeter the music

And I can play
A symphony of love
Like a thousand violins
Singing from above
You're gonna really miss my loving
