  *++Lyrics:|\\
I'm getting tired of our up-to-date ways,\\
Up-to-date plays, we have now a-days;\\
Maybe you think I am awfully slow,\\
'Cause I love the quaint old ways of long ago.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
Can't you bring back the olden Love-days,\\
The golden Love-days of Long ago;\\
Can't you bring back all the old fashioned melodies,\\
mother and daddy used to know;\\
Can't you bring back the bashful Misses,\\
The tender kisses by moonlight glow.\\
Oh I wish I could find somebody who'd love\\
Like they loved in the sweet "Long ago".\\
\\
Mother was always sweet and quaint in her style,\\
Sweet in her smile, sweet all the while;\\
When she met Daddy he proposed, and one day\\
They were married in the quaint old fashioned way.\\
\\
