Whatever Happened To Old Fashioned Love?

BJ Thomas

Written by L. Anderson



We live in the modern age

Where love is fast like a turning page

In a magazine, we've hardly seen

The friends we used to know

They disappear, they come and go

Like the times we've had

It's kind of sad



Whatever happened to old fashioned love

The kind that would see you through

The kind of love my Momma and Daddy knew

Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love

The kind that would last through the years

Through the trials

Through the smiles

Through the tears



Today is all we've planned

We say tomorrow we'll understand

If it all should end

We'd be alone again



Ohh, whatever happened to old fashioned love

The kind that would see you through

The kind of love my Momma and Daddy knew

Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love

The kind that would last through the years

Through the trials

Through the smiles

Through the tears



For now the tenderness

Has been replaced

With something less

And it's hard to find

What we left behind



Ohh, whatever happened to old fashioned love

The kind that would see you through

The kind of love my Momma and Daddy knew

Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love

The kind that would last through the years

Through the trials

Through the smiles

Through the tears.
