Good as Old – ©2023, Eagle When She Flies Music – Writers: Paul Ivy, Elizabeth Eckert, Sundi Jo Graham

Verse One:

He saw that gold ring on my finger
Asked how many years so far
I said 2 he grabbed a bottle
From the top shelf of his bar
I said, “What’s all this about ol’ whiskey
Is it really worth the price?”
He smiled at me and whispered
Can I give you some advice?

Chorus:
Love won’t stay new forever
That ring will lose its shine
But some things just get better
Like guitars and vintage wine
One thing I’ve learned that’s true
time’s worth it’s weight in gold
If you think love’s good as new
wait til it’s
Good as old

Verse Two:
He said a couple years aint nothin
The next ten will just fly by
But when you see her hold your first born
Then you’ll start to know why
Everyday’s another reason
To hold on to what you’re given
I’m not saying that it’s easy
But it’s what makes life worth living

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

He winked at me and I said man you made my day
When I got home I knew just what to say

Repeat Chorus

If you think love’s good as new
wait til it’s
Good as old
