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 couples 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 happened 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
