An Old Record
Like an old forty five
I thought you'd always be by my side
With every spin of the turntable
You said you were ready, willing and able
But now our song is no longer on the countdown
Our divorce is final and you moved out of town
Rumors circulated about
And I had my doubts
But you confirmed my suspicion
Perhaps it was woman's intuition
So filled with frustration
And without hesitation
I asked you to leave
Don't bother me please
So like records you may no longer be around
I can finally hear the music and it's such a lovely sound
