lyrics

I might be old fashioned
But it's gotta be
It's nothing, if it's isn't
Something -

I might be old fashioned
But it's got to feel
It's nothing, if it isn't
Something grand

I am looking for A Grand Gesture to give you
I am looking for the right moves to win you over

I might be barking up the wrong tree
But it's feeling like your feeling
Me

And in our crystal ball there might not be
A future, but A Grand Gesture will ensure a memory

I am looking for A Grand Gesture to give you
I am looking for the right moves to win you over

It will make up for the trips we never take
It will make up for the words we don't say
It will make up for the trips we never take
It will make up for the promises that we break.
