Old Man
Edward, being a one-hundred year old vampire, is pretty old considering I, Bella Swan, am only seventeen turning eighteen next month. Even though Edward is old enough to be my great- grandfather, I can't deny my love for him. So, I decided to write him a song as a graduation present. The song is called Old Man. Haha. Get it? I asked Jasper and Em to help me play it. I am going to play it after everyone leaves besides his family and I.
2 Weeks Later…. – The Grad Party
The graduation party was a HUGE success, knowing Alice. The food was gone within minutes, and the house was packed. My distaste for parties is not a secret but Alice and Edward forced me to go saying, 'it will be "fun"' Yeah right.
After the Grad Party
Finally everyone left.
I was biting my lip nervously and my hands were sweating. Jasper was sending calming waves over to me but it wasn't helping. Edward was giving me questioning looks but I just shrugged it off.
"Edward?" I asked nervously.
"Yes, love?"
"Ummm, well, I kind of wrote you a song as a graduation present." I said this all in one breath but I knew he could understand.
"Really?" He asked, excited.
"Really."
Em and Jasper signaled me when it was my cue. And I started to sing:
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.
Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
That don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.
Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
I took a deep breath as soon as I stopped singing. As I took a look around the room, everybody jaws were wide open.
"I take it you like your present, then?"
"Yes indeed, my Bella."
AN: This was just a one shot dedicated to Neil Young for all that he's given me over the years!
