Now you might think that thirty five is just a little too old

But I?m not ready yet to be put out in the cold

C
You know the older the violin, the sweeter the music
[Bridge]
C G7
And I can play...a sympho-ny of love
C

You?re gonna really miss my lovin?...someday when you lose it
C
You know the older the violin, the sweeter the music
[Verse]
C G7
These specks of grey that?s in my hair...just make me look dis-tinguished
C
They don?t mean I?m over the hill...and Babe I?m not ex-tinguished
G7
There?s lots of young girls waitin? for my love.and Babe they won?t re-fuse it

They know the older the violin, the sweeter the music.
