Artist/Band: Rory Gallagher
Lyrics for Song: They Don't Make Them Like You Anymore
Lyrics for Album: Crest Of A Wave: The Best Of Rory Gallagher [2009]



They don't make them like you anymore, that's for sure

And when they made you

They made sure they threw away the mold

It comes as no surprise to me

That I wanna be in your vicinity



If I stand close to you

I'm not sure if I'm really there

With my feet on the ground

But my head, it's lost in the air

Oh, how I wish you could see

That I'd love to be in your vicinity



Where would I go?

What would I do if you should run from me?

How does it show when you're to lose?

Will you explain to me?



There's something growing

There's something showing

There's something won't let me be



Where would I go?

What would I do if you should run from me?

How does it show when you're to lose?

Will you explain to me?



There's something growing

There's something showing

There's something won't let me be



They don't make them like you anymore, that's for sure

And when they made you

They made sure they threw away the mold

Oh, how I wish you could be

I wanna be in your vicinity



Well, I've heard that one day

Everything comes to him who waits

Well, that may be so

But you know it might be too late

Oh, how I'd love you to see

That I wanna be in your vicinity
