Fred Astaire

I know you're disappointed, I can see it in your eyes
This isn't what you wanted and now you realize
I ain't no knight in shining armor who comes a-ridin' 'cross the lea
 Now, the merchants in the marketplace they're selling fantasy
It's a trick of light and shadow it's not reality
It's just a faded photograph of the man I used to be
You're lookin' for a younger man - not me
I knew the day I met you it was never gonna last
You're an angel from the future I'm an old devil from the past
So, trust me when I tell you this is the way it's meant to be
If you believe in better days ahead for this crazy human race
That we will somehow be delivered by goodness and by grace
And if you're lookin' for believers in faith and hope and charity
Then, you're lookin' for a younger man - not me
