[Verse 1]
Love and blessings, simple kindness
Fell like rain on thirsty land
Fields and gardens long abandoned
Came to life in dust and sand

[Verse 2]
Lover's lips sweet as honey
Touched as if old love was new
Banker's pockets overflowing with gold and money
Prophesies of wealth come true

[Chorus]
(Bop-bop-a-whoa) Ain't no song like an old song, Charlie
(Bop-bop-a-whoa) There's no song like an old song
(Bop-bop-a-whoa) There ain't no time like a good time Charlie
(Bop-bop-a-whoa) Ain't no times like the good times, Charlie
Bop-bop-a-whoa, whoa
Bop-bop-a-whoa, Bop-bop-a-whoa
Everywhere you look anywhere you go
Everybody working for the Bop-bop-a-whoa
Bop-bop-a-whoa, Bop-bop-a-whoa
Can't get enough of the Bop-bop-a-whoa
Bop-bop-a-whoa, Bop-bop-a-whoa

[Verse 3]
If the summer kept a secret
It was heaven's lack of rain
Golden days and amber sunsets
Let the scientists complain
[Verse 4]
Came the autumn, drained of color
Ghosts in the water beg for more
Maple trees just a little bit duller
Than the memory of the year before

[Verse 5]
In a word, or in an image
Something called me from my sleep
Love and blessings, simple kindness
Ours to hold but not to keep
