Back when love was slow

We took our time, let our feelings grow

Back when love was slow

Nobody was rushing, everybody knew

Back when love was slow

A good thing was worth waiting for

Back when love ok was our slow

That's what forever used to mean before

Back when I would write your name on an envelope

Put a stamp on a letter, sending dreams and hope

Had to wait a few days just to hear back from you

Now people leave on read before the day is through

Back then every date felt like an appointment

You showed up excited, not looking for enjoyment

Only for yourself we was building something real

Nowadays everybody asking how you feel

Before the first argument, before the first doubt

People worked things out instead of walking out

Back then patience wasn't something hard to find

Everybody want forever overnight

Back when love was slow

We took our time, let our feelings grow

Back when love was slow

Nobody was rushing, everybody knew

Back when love was slow

A good thing was worth waiting for

Back when love was slow

Slow that's what forever used to mean before
