Like Lovin' Used to Be - Delbert McClinton, Self-Made Men

I like a lot of things that lovers used to do

I like holding hands and pitching woo

Whatever happened to romance?

Is it gone or is it just me?

But I like loving like loving used to be

I like picnics and wading in a shallow stream

The smell of honey suckle rose on a summer breeze

Long walks on the boardwalk

Two straws and frosty freeze

But I like loving like loving used to be

Count the stars with the one you love

You know what I mean

You’ll know loving like loving used to be

I like taking it slow and making it last

Take one step at a time, don’t go too fast

There’s no need to hurry, it’ll happen naturally

And you’ll know loving like loving used to be

You’ll know loving like loving used to be
