I Might Tip My Hat

Dale Houstman

When old lovers meet…
……
I Might Tip My Hat

We might not meet for quite awhile
But when we do I hope you sport that smile
A little fake, a little coy
But little girls and little boys
Get used to that
Anyway…
I might tip my hat

When we were young we looked like jewels
But we grew up and we grew cruel
A trifle earned, a trifle spent
We wonder where the feelings went
Where’s passion at?
Anyway…
I might tip my hat

I might
And you might
Be half the world away tonight
In a swoon
Or in a fix
We came on hard
But we got licked
Anyway.

I’ve seen you rising in my sleep
A mountain swallowed by the deep
A loser always plays for loss
You pay it off then you ask the cost
Then we both go flat
Anyway…
I might tip my hat
Anyway…
I might tip my hat
‘Cause I’m your diplomat
I might tip my hat
Anyway.
