That's Old Fashioned (That's the Way Love Should Be)
The Everly Brothers
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
We hold hands in the movie show So they say that we're old fashioned Or we stroll beneath the silvery moon And we carve our initials in the old oak tree. That's old fashioned. That's the way love should be. We enjoy sitting side by side In the booth at the ice cream parlor Where we play the nickelodeon And we dance when we hear our favorite melody. That's old fashioned. That's the way love should be. It's a modern changing world Everything is moving fast. But when it comes to love I like What they did in the past. I'm the kind who loves only one So the boys say I'm old fashioned. Let them laugh, honey I don't mind. I've made plans for a wedding day for you and me. That's old fashioned. That's the way love should be.
