Lyrics
As Much As I’d Like To
What man of my years
Wouldn’t blush when he hears
The words that you just said?
Who wouldn’t jump at the chance
For an autumn romance?
But,I’ll have to pass instead.
Don’t think that I’m not capable.
It’s more like my dance card is full.
But, someone’s waiting at home and so
I’ll have to say thank you, but no.
As much as I’d like to
As much as I’d like to
It would break her heart in two.
I’m not that sort of man.
No, there’s nothing wrong with you.
And, that’s far from the issue.
It’s just something I can’t do
As much as I’d like to.
Don’t think I’m not flattered
And, if that’s all that mattered
I’d sweep you off your feet .
And,though my head may be swimmin’
In romantic visions
There’s that need to be discrete.
Even though the kids are all grown
What example would I be showin’?
But, there’s really a lot more to it.
I suspect that you already knew it.
As much as I’d like to
As much as I’d like to
It would break her heart in two.
That just ain’t happenin’.
You see I made a commitment
And, I intend to stick with it.
It’s just something I can’t do
As much as I’d like to.
There’s a whole world waiting out there for you. You need to make some young man’s dreams come true.
It ain’t just the years that’s keeping us apart
You see a long time ago someone trusted me with her heart.
So, as much as I’d like to
As much as I’d like to
It would break her heart in two.
And, that's not who I am.
But, thank you for asking.
And, now you know why I’m passing.
It’s just something I can’t do
As much as I’d like to.
It’s just something I can’t do
As much as I’d like to.
