Old Fashioned Love
Embracing Timeless Love: Alberta Hunter's Old-Fashioned Heartfelt Ode
Lyrics
Most folks now days say old fashioned ways
Most people nowadays advocate for modern approaches over traditional ones.
Should give place to things that are new
New things are believed to be more important than old-fashioned ones.
But somehow I hold, to things that are old
The speaker values and adheres to traditional or old things.
Perhaps it's an old fashioned view
It might be the speaker's perspective influenced by traditional views.
I love my old books, the corners and nooks
The speaker cherishes old books, the hidden corners, and details of their old home and friends.
Of my old home and the old friends
They have a fondness for their old home and the memories associated with it.
Old memories too, one love that is true
Memories, especially of a genuine love, endure throughout life.
Lasting all through life until it ends
True love lasts a lifetime until the end.
I've got that old fashioned love in my heart
The speaker has a deep affection based on traditional values.
Oh, play it for me, yes
Requesting someone to play music that evokes sentimental feelings.
And there it will always remain
Their love is a constant presence in their life.
My love is like an ivy vine
Comparing their love to an ivy vine, implying it grows steadily and clings stronger over time.
Clingin' a little closer all the time
Their love grows closer and more intimate as time passes.
Through the years, joy and tears
Love endures both joyful and sorrowful moments.
Just the same
Despite life's changes, the love remains consistent.
I've got that old fashioned faith in my heart, oh yes
The speaker has unwavering faith based on traditional beliefs.
No changes can't tear it apart
Belief that no external forces can weaken their faith.
If the dry land changed to sea
Expressing the idea that drastic changes won't affect their faith.
That would never make any change in me
The speaker's beliefs remain unaffected by external transformations.
'Cause I've got that old, old fashioned love in my heart
Reiterating the enduring presence of old-fashioned love in the speaker's heart.
Yes I've got that old, old fashioned faith in my heart
Reasserting the speaker's unwavering faith in traditional values.
No changes can tear it apart
Confident that no changes can dismantle their faith.
If the dry land changed to sea
Stressing that even drastic changes won't impact their faith.
That would never make any change in me
The speaker's beliefs remain steadfast regardless of transformations.
'Cause I've got that old, old fashioned love in my heart
Reaffirming the enduring presence of old-fashioned love in the speaker's heart.
Yes, I've got that old, old fashioned love in my heart
The speaker confirms the enduring existence of traditional love within.
