lyrics

I got this old mug on my shelf, I take it down and pour myself a cup and think of what used to be
You gave it to me second hand, you knew I was just a simple man, and babe, I guess I’ll always be
I said babe, I guess I’ll always be

It takes me to another time, to New Year’s Day of ’99 when I woke up with you lying next to me
We made love to Bell Bottom Blues, and now when I hear it I’m reminded of you, and I wonder do you ever think of me

Because them old times may be forgotten, but some things like it or not, their memories never fade away
Like the look in your lover’s eyes, the way she felt lying beside you there on New Year’s Day

I got this old black and white of us, I take it down and wipe off the dust of all that used to be
And I hold it in my calloused hands and these days I’m just a lonely man and babe, I guess I’ll always be
But I’d give it all to go back in time to New Year’s Day in ’99 when I woke up with you next to me

Because them old times may be forgotten, but some things like it or not their memories never fade away
Like the look in your lover’s eyes, the way she felt lying beside you there on New Year’s Day

Yes, it’s the look in your lover’s eyes, the way she felt lying beside you there on New Year’s Day

I got this old mug on my shelf I take it down and pour myself a cup and think of what used to be
