Love Like of Old
LOVE LIKE OF OLD
Waiting for this hours to come wasn’t easy
But the long hours make me feel dizzy
Can’t wait for this hours to pass
Cos I can’t see what I want at last
Sitting beside each other like lovers
Yet my heart was just too far and it hovers
I recalled what loving my friends was like
I recalled the moments I waited in anticipation
Waiting for my friend to come around
Finishing my assignment on time
Preparing all my stories
Recalling all daddy promised
Reminding mom of what she promised
I’ve got stories to tell my friend when she comes
I need to show her my room paints
My new pairs of shoes i have got to show
The green lawn must feel our feet
We must run like we running from the rain
We must hold hands in the garden
We must prune the flowers together
We must make granpa laugh once again
For that he’s always wanted to see
I want to help her clean the dust off her feet
Want to find her behind the walls when I seek
Want to see that giggle in her eyes when she screams
Let’s build the house of sands
Let me call you olori and I your kabiyesi
Wanna tell you Stories of toitoise and the dog
The lion and the stupid monkey
Can I still keep my candies till evening so that I can share with you
Can I still tell mom to take me to your house
Can you still refuse your lunch cos you wanna visit me
Can we still love like of old
Can we stop looking for where to catch fun
And create one for ourselves like of old
Can we sing for and to each other
Without looking for the best DJ in town
Can we still run the lawn and be happy
Without going to the expensive amusement parks
Can I still tell you those stories
Without looking for the best cinema in town
Can you till keep your candies for me
Without asking me for gifts in return
Can we still play and make the elders smile
Without making them angry and cursing our generation
Love me like of old
Hold me like of old
Wait for me like you did
Look at me like you did then
Lemme recall how mom told me to wave tu you
Lemme be still in mood as you leave
Lemme be eager to be with you everyday
And not once every year.
Lemme be filled with satisfaction
Without having raved in between your legs
Lemme do more of starving for you
And not strafing you
Just love me like of old
So that we ll never feel we are now old
Let’s leave our story to load
And tell our stories till we close
