Old Fashioned Romance

Love, love, the old fashioned way With courtships that lasted more than a day This new modern age of total free love Has its appeal but missing the hugs It's straight to the bedroom on the very first date Never a thought of perhaps we should wait Back in the day we wanted a virgin To experience together the joys of flirting The coy little love words that promised the moon Wishing so badly it happens real soon Anticipation built up in our throbbing veins Imagining that moment when passion reigns Now it's “pleased to meet you, let's go to bed!” Oh for the days of mystery instead Thinking of when your union's complete That moment when both are swept off your feet That moment sublime lasts forever and ever To happen today, the chance would be never
