Seventeenth album for Kenny. As much as I nag him for abandoning his country sound, gotta give him credit for
hanging in there with the pop. That's what this is once again. Not much different than the previous few. Only the
one cover of the title/leadoff track that I know of, a duet with Dolly. That for me is the worst thing on here,
with Dolly's squeaky fake laugh in the spoken dialogue part just too much. That was the highest charting of the
three singles released, reaching #21 country, which is the same showing as the album. The other two singles, Lay My
Body Down and What I Did For Love fared much worse. Ironic that this was the first of Kenny's albums since the
first one to not hit the pop charts and yet there's not a country song on it. There are a couple of love tracks in
So Little Love In The World and In Our Old Age that help me to like the album.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Love Is Strange
Best Track - In Our Old Age
Cominâ home from work today I saw our future
And old man and his wife were holdinâ hands
They were sittinâ on a front porch swing
Like two young lovers
I waved to them as I went by then I realized
That life does not grow dimmer with the settinâ of the sun
The best years of our lives still are yet to come.
In our old age love will just get better
The longer weâre together, weâll grow stronger everyday
Our bodies may get weaker and our hair will turn gray
But love will never fade in our age ( love will never fade ).
One day the kids will all be grown and theyâll be leavinâ
And it will be like it was years ago
Weâll be sittinâ on the front porch swing like two young lovers
âcos today I just saw what our future holds
