Play Me An Old Fashioned Melody

Verse:

Music hath charms,
Yes music hath charms, for,
Whenever I am lonely, when ev'rything seems wrong,
I always find my consolation in a song.

Chorus:

Play me an old-fashioned melody,
A simple tune, a tender rhyme.
A sweet refrain that will always be
A fav'rite melody with Father Time.
When I am lost in my reverie,
I hum a theme and dream along;
And as I stroll down on mem'ry lane,
I reminisce with an old love song.
