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
