Love Is Back in the Game

Round and round and round So much talk within the falling years How they're winding down None of us can drink as many a beers But how we put them down Far less talk of burgeoning careers Pics of grandkids, dogs, and spouses gone Some just moved on those bastards How now to explain the sleepless nights The feeling of freefall This one's not from pain and doesn't need An extra Tylenol It's not the endless rain Or thinking Florida come every Fall This one's got some style It's been a while but it's true Love is Back in the Game Called me out by my name That's right, I'm talking to you You don't need a reason, it's not like it's treason To love again at this stage Readers read on the gauge You haven't read the last page, bless you Looking hungry and sore Hat in hand at my door Just let me suit up again I'll be a bench sitter, a designated hitter Just get me back into play In time for Old Timer's Day So what was I suposed to say? OK You and she are in astonishment mode Words of love replace the lines to your ode Just as you resigned to meet it with grace, comes a face Hair as gray as mine Though I will admit a little less fine Daughter lives in Vermont We'll spend Thanksgiving in a restaurant Sadness deep in the eyes Now incapable of telling lies But sad leads to real, leads to love, leads to smile Love is Back in the Game Love is now back in vogue Two are now going rogue One crazy old dude, one crazy old dame! Inappropriately acting like twenty three Harmless as you can see why blame Just in time to watch the ball falling down All over Times Square Look who's freezing their butts off Out in the air Ocean liner's big new state of the art Wet wild water slide Guess who's up at the top in line for the ride Love is back in the news Earned the life of the blues Into a gold oldies song The Moody Blues, the Blues MaGoos Play McCartney and Ram Play the whole Apple Jam The Plastic Oh no no! Band Life is a rewind, a pat on the behind Love is back in my life I think I'll take me a wife And introduce her with pride-my new bride
