Old Love
Skeye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can't break my heart
If only love can mend these parts
But you can take your time
Because this heart can see you start

To feel the pain of me missing you, Baby
And kissing you
But go ahead and pack your stuff
and leaving old memories behind
Just one more final goodbye
So I can shed my tears and cry

Do you feel the pain of me missing you, Baby
Till the sky falls down

Oh Love, Old Love
You can break me baby since my heart ain't gone
Oh Love, Old Love
It kills me to think that your hearts all gone

Do you feel the pain of me missing you, Baby

Oh Love, Old Love
It kills me to think that your hearts all gone
Oh Love, Old Love
You can break me baby since my heart ain't gone

Now I'm all alone
Now I can lay myself to sleep




But let me say one thing
You'll be the only one I dream

I'm 76 years of age and this song and Lindsay's voice is awesomely beautiful. And her husband can play anything and make it sound good. Can't get enough!! Thank you both!

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE ARTISTS

@MrVidsAllDay

It's such a crime that two real, extremely talented artists like this duo only have 23k views on Youtube, whereas shitty radio artists who can barely sing, don't write their own music, or play instruments have millions upon millions. It has been a long time since I've heard such brilliant original music. I found this channel a few months ago and I can't stop coming back. Love it! Cheers to you guys, keep doing what you do!!

@OverlandingJoy

It could be a blessing in disguise that they're not mainstream. The best talent walks among us largely unnoticed. :)

@Jbuss0679

@@OverlandingJoyVery good point and not to mention a lot of people can't handle the fame/money that comes with being famous

@Jbuss0679

Music sucks nowadays for the most part. Most Musician's sound like crap without autotune and can't perform live.

@lindacianchetti3599

If they want to be ruined, they'll go big.

@mysteph73

I just found these two nine years later but I'm making up for it now. I can't stop listening to them. They are amazingly , Really!! Lindsey's voice so so nice to listen to an John can play anything you put in front of him, even pots an pans. Lol. I hope they're still making music, I can't believe they don't have a recording contract but then again its been awhile maybe they do, I'll be looking and listening. Love you two.
