My hands have learned the weight of years
Am
They know the shape of loss

My hair remembers every winter

Every road I crossed
Em
My face tells a careful story
Am
Lines I didn't write
C B
But inside me something sings like a song that won't grow tired
[Refrão]
Em
Don't forget my old soul, it still feels young
Am Em
It laughs at time, it dances slow but it's never done
Em
My face may carry all the years like a well worn road
Am
But my heart still runs barefoot (Don't forget my old soul)
Em
Don't forget my old soul

I walk a little softer now, I listen more than speak

But wonder still wakes me up like it did so long ago

It believes in small miracles and afternoon moons

My body moves a little slower but my spirit knows
Am
How to leap without permission (Don't forget my old soul)
Em
Don't forget my old soul
[Ponte]
Am
Time has been a strict teacher and a gentle friend
Em
It took some things I needed but gave me depth instead
Am
I don't chase the future anymore or mourn the past
B
I live inside this breathing moment and let it last
[Refrão]
Em
Don't forget my old soul, it still feels young
Am Em
It wears the years like borrowed coats when the day is done
Em
I may look like I belong to time like I've grown old
Am
But inside I am still becoming (Don't forget my old soul)
Em
Don't forget my old soul
Outro

When I finally lay my body down and the long night pulls me home
B Em Am Em
I'll leave this smile on the world from my young, old soul
