Lyrics
As we lie, together you and I
slowly the dawn begins to glow
gently you wake me,
and then you take me,
where no one else can ever go.
Sometimes in the morning,
when sunbeams are fallin',
you turn to me softly and say,
"Darlin' I love you,
there's no one above you,
so love me, the old fashioned way."
And sometimes at noonday,
when bluebirds are callin' to me,
you gaze in my eyes and say,
"Love me forever,
Oh, leave me never,
just love me, love me, the old fashioned way."
In our old fashioned love,
where the wonder of life never ends,
where the glory of living begins,
in our old fashion love.
Sometimes in the evenin',
when crickets are singin'
you lay down beside me and say
Darlin', please hold me,
care for me only,
just love me, love me, the old fashioned way,
the old fashioned way, the old fashioned way.
