Píseň: They Just Don't Make 'Em Like You Anymore

Interpret:
Kenny Rogers
Album:
Back Home Again
I've looked everywhere there is a love affair 
I must replace, racing through the people chase 
But still surrounded by memories of your face 


They just don´t make ´em like you anymore 
Not up in the mountains or down by the shore 
Something shine in the fashion in the smile that you wore 
They just don´t make ´em like you anymore 


In the eyes of someone new I wait for a glimpse of you 
But it´s never there, one among the precious few 
Your kind of person is becoming so rare 


They just don´t make ´em like you anymore 
Like those white lace dresses at the second hand store 
Or sweet old songs filtering out through the floor 
They just don´t make ´em like you anymore 


Fashion comes and the fashion goes 
And the gossip magazines and the videos 
A brand new actress on a screen 
In a brand new style of clothes 
But by any other name a rose is still a rose 


And it grows in my memories 
Wonder if you still are the same 
while I look for a remedy 
Someone with a tender heart 
to clean your name 


They just don´t make ´em like you anymore 
It´s an easy thing to learn but so hard to ignore 
Now I know exactly what I´m looking for 
They just don´t make ´em like they made ´em before 


They just don´t make ´em like you anymore
