I Finally Understand

I realize as I watch you sleeping
Some things in life are so worth keeping
Through ups and downs you were always there
And now I realize how much I care
Some things old are better than some things new

Like those old shoes that I keep fixing
And that old watch that keeps on ticking
And that old car that takes a licking
Some things in life are just worth keeping
Some things old are better than some things new

Now I finally understand
I don't need a new car, a new life, a new man
I won't trade in the old for the new
Just cuz I'm told it's good for you
Some things old are better than some things new
Some things old are better than some things new

So if something breaks don't throw it away
For the flashy shiny things of today
There here in a day but not here to stay
So listen to the words I say
Some things old are better than some things new

Now I finally understand
I don't need a new car, a new life, a new man
I won't trade in the old for the new
Just cuz I'm told it's good for you
Some things old are better than some things new
Some things old are better than some things new

Now I finally understand
I don't need a new car, a new life, a new man
I won't trade in the old for the new
Just cuz I'm told it's good for you
Some things old are better than some things new
Some things old are better than some things new
