George Younce - An Old Convention Song lyrics
Artist: George Younce
album: Tribute To George Younce
We used to come from miles around
Have dinner on the ground
Underneath those old shade trees
And sing the old songs in shaped notes
In four part harmony
Like "He Set Me Free" and "He'll Pilot Me"
Any "Anywhere Is Home"
How long has it been since you heard an old convention song
I still (I still) love to hear (love to hear) those old convention songs
That I heard (that I heard) as a child (just a little child) as we sing them all day long
Like "I'm Gonna Walk and "Just A LittleTalk"
And "All The Day Long"
How long has it been since you heard an old convention song
Gospel songs today have a lot to say
They lift you up when you're feeling down
Some have a country flavor
Some have a modern sound
They all serve a need of planting seeds
So I know they can't go wrong
But there is none so dear as when I hear
An old convention song
How long (how long) has it been
Since you heard "After Awhile"
How long (how long) since you heard "Give The World A Smile"
How long (how long) since you heard "I'm Winging My Way Back Home"
How long has it been since you heard an old convention song
Have dinner on the ground
Underneath those old shade trees
And sing the old songs in shaped notes
In four part harmony
Like "He Set Me Free" and "He'll Pilot Me"
Any "Anywhere Is Home"
How long has it been since you heard an old convention song
I still (I still) love to hear (love to hear) those old convention songs
That I heard (that I heard) as a child (just a little child) as we sing them all day long
Like "I'm Gonna Walk and "Just A LittleTalk"
And "All The Day Long"
How long has it been since you heard an old convention song
Gospel songs today have a lot to say
They lift you up when you're feeling down
Some have a country flavor
Some have a modern sound
They all serve a need of planting seeds
So I know they can't go wrong
But there is none so dear as when I hear
An old convention song
How long (how long) has it been
Since you heard "After Awhile"
How long (how long) since you heard "Give The World A Smile"
How long (how long) since you heard "I'm Winging My Way Back Home"
How long has it been since you heard an old convention song
