Old-Fashioned Love Song

Just an old-fashioned love song playin' on the radio
And wrapped around the music is the sound
Of someone promising they'll never go
You swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on
No need in bringin' `em back,
`Cause they're never really gone

Just an old-fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old-fashioned love song
Comin' down in 3-part harmony

To weave our dreams upon and listen to each evening
When the lights are low
To underscore our love affair
With tenderness and feeling that we've come to know
You swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on and
No need in bringin' `em back,
`Cause they're never really gone

Just an old-fashioned love song
Comin' down in 3-part harmony
Just an old-fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old-fashioned love song
Comin' down in 3-part harmony
Just an old-fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me

To weave our dreams upon and listening to a song . . .

"An Old Fashioned Love Song" is the title of a 1971 song by the American pop-rock band Three Dog Night. Taken as the lead single from their 1971 album Harmony, the song peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 1971, becoming the band's seventh Top 10 hit.
[1] It was also Three Dog Night's first record to top the U.S.
adult contemporary chart (they would score another #1 AC hit the next year in 1972 with "Black and White").
[2] "An Old Fashioned Love Song" was written by the noted songwriter
Paul Williams.
Its lyrics suggest the straightforward and melodic nature of the tune: Just an old
fashioned love song / Comin' down in three part harmony / Just an old fashioned love
song / one  I'm sure they wrote for you and me
