Old Fashioned Love Song

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Just an old fashioned love song Playing on the radio And wrapped around the music Is the sound of someone promising they'll never go. You'll swear you've heard it before As it slowly rambles on and on. No need in bringing em back 'Cause they've never really gone. Just an old fashioned love song Coming down in three part harmony. Just an old fashioned love song One I'm sure they wrote for you and me, To weave our dreams upon and Listen to each evening when the light are low. To underscore our love affair With tenderness and feeling That we've come to know. You'll swear you've heard it before As it slowly rambles on and on. No need in bringing em back 'Cause they've never really gone. Just an old fashioned love song Coming down in three part harmony. Just an old fashioned love song One I'm sure they wrote for you and me.
