There’ll Be Some Changes Made - Dinah Washington

They say don’t change the old for the new

But I’ve found out this will never do

When you grow old you don’t last long

You’re here today and then tomorrow you’re gone

I loved a man (gal) for many years gone by

I tho’t his (her) love for me would never die

He (She) made some changes that would never do

From now on I’m goin' to make some changs too

For there’s a change in the weather

There’s a change in the sea

So from now on there’ll be a change in me

My walk will be diff’rent, my talk and my name

Nothin' about me is goin' to be the same

I’m goin' to change my way of livin' if that ain’t enough

Then I’ll change the way that I strut my stuff

'Cause nobody wants you when you’re old and gray

There’ll be some changes made

They say the old time things are the best

That may be very good for all the rest

But I’m goin' to let the old things be

'Cause they are certainly not suited for me

There was a time when I thought that way

That’s why I’m all alone here today

Since ev’ry one of these days seeks something new

From now on I’m goin' to seek some new things too

For there’s a change in the weather

There’s a change in the sea

So from now on there’ll be a change in me

Why, my walk will be be different, and my talk and my name

Nothing about me gonna be the same

I’m gonna change my way of livin', and that ain’t no shock

Why, I’m thinking of changin' the way I gotta set my clock

Because nobody wants you when you’re old and gray

There’s gonna be some changes made today

There’ll be some changes made
