The Old Songs 
The Old Songs by Pomeranz and Kaye
Key of ?
David Pomeranz wrote this in 1977 with Buddy Kaye. This songs was written for Jennifer Warnes – she must have passed on it. David had recorded it on his Atlantic album, and Barry Manilow heard the album, heard the song, and then decided that he would record it, too. That was in 1979.

It's been too many hours I've wasted staring at the phone. Sweet old songs I'm counting on you to bring her back to me. I'm tired of listening alone And maybe the old songs will bring back the old times Maybe the old lines will sound new Maybe she'll lay her head on my shoulder Maybe old feelings will come through Maybe we'll start to cry and wonder why we ever walked away Maybe the old songs will bring back the old times And make her want to stay And make her want to stay, want to stay Maybe we'll start to cry and wonder why we ever walked away Maybe the old songs will bring back the old times And make her want to stay |
