Love In Three​-​Quarter Time

from Too Old To Boogie, Too Young To Die by Dusty Woods

/

about

Newer isn't always better, and romance never goes out of style. A tender, old-fashioned country love song in waltz time. Minimal instrumentation adds to the feeling of old-fashioned simplicity.

lyrics

I remember a time when love was sweeter,
Now, why can’t things be the way they used to be?
Holding a girl on the dance floor
was thrilling, or so it seemed to me.

Chorus:
And I still like to make love in 3/4 time,
when I hear a waltz it sets me free,
I still like to make love in 3/4 time,
so please save a slow one for me.

Would you laugh and call me old-fashioned
if I asked for a slow dance or two,
Just once ‘round the floor, I won’t ask for more,
It’s my one chance to get close to you.

(Chorus)

Now they tell me that times are getting better,
But why’d they have to say it so fast and loud?
I’d like to picture us together,
but nowadays I guess romance ain’t allowed

Chorus:
And I still like to make love in 3/4 time,
when I hear a waltz it sets me free,
I still like to make love in 3/4 time,
so please save a slow one for me.
Yes, please save a slow one,
I sure hope the band know one,
Please save a slow one for me.
