Thomas, B.J. - Whatever Happened To Old Fashioned Love Lyrics






We live in the modern age
Where love is fast like a turning page
In a magazine, we've hardly seen
The friends we used to know
They disappear, they come and go
Like the times we've had
It's kind of sad

Whatever happened to old fashioned love
The kind that would see you through
The kind of love my Momma and Daddy knew
Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love
The kind that would last through the years
Through the trials
Through the smiles
Through the tears

Today is all we've planned
We say tomorrow we'll understand
If it all should end
We'd be alone again

Ohh, whatever happened to old fashioned love
The kind that would see you through
The kind of love my Momma and Daddy knew
Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love
The kind that would last through the years
Through the trials
Through the smiles
Through the tears

For now the tenderness
Has been replaced
With something less
And it's hard to find
What we left behind

Ohh, whatever happened to old fashioned love
The kind that would see you through
The kind of love my Momma and Daddy knew
Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love
The kind that would last through the years
Through the trials
Through the smiles
Through the tears.

    Knew her three months. This year coming will be 18 years we been married. When times got rough we always looked to Jesus to sustain us. It’s possible to have that love when he sustains you through the trials of war and losing two children.

    For some reason this song popped in my head. I havent heard this song since i was 8 . And i remember liking the song but never knew who song it. Heres to you Mr BJ!!

  15. P.... ....

    I get it when I drive through beautiful nature, and I buy homes in it. Then I’m as elevated as this song with its arms wrapped around me because there’s been nothing to find in the person. Sad but true.

    A great song is a song that never loses its affect on the heart whenever you hear it and stands the test time . Love this song and BJ Thomas ! His voice and singing ability are amazing still!

    f.... 0....

  35. R.... N....

    Não feche seus olhos esta noite! Não feche, pois estarei acordado pensando em você! A existência estabelece conexões com o Eterno. E nele que enxergo a razão de tudo! Estamos próximos! Estamos navegando rumo ao destino melhor, sem medos, sem tristeza, sem medo de dizer “amei muito a todos... e também fui amado”! Meu coração estará sempre com todos, cada momento juntos sempre será Eterno! Minutos, horas, dias, meses, anos, ficará sempre a alegria de ter vivido bem com todos! Somos a poeira do Universo! Somos parte do Universo! Somos parte do céu! Voe... voe...é breve a passagem...é breve o espirito do Eterno! Não feche seus olhos esta noite! Não feche, pois estarei longe... muito longe pensando em você! (1979) BJ Thomas -- Whatever Happened to Old Fashioned Love(1982)

    My sweet wife and I were together for 28 years and married for 25.   She had just turned 50 and I lost her to cancer, in 2014.  Although we had our up and downs we never stopped loving each other and on the night she passed we kept telling each other how much we loved each other until she slipped away from me.  I miss her awful :(.

    appreciate you listening

  69. m.... ....

    A #1 hit for B.J. Thomas on the Country & Western charts. It was the 653rd #13 C&W song of the Rock Era.

  70. A.... N....

    I don't understand people... They come n go and change... I really hate it... How come ya cant find someone that stays n loves ya for who ya are and never wants to change you or change themselves... How true this song is ... Nobody seems to be happy with who they are or who they are with... Maybe its bcuz I dont understand people and never have... Sometimes Im not sure I want too....

    A.... N....

    now the young marry to spite the parents and the rest wait so long they become set in their ways and want fairy tales, i guess divorce is pretty easy to get, appreciate the great comment

    A.... N....

    So right that people are just too into that fairy tale and can't ever appreciate what's in front of them - they're always trying to "trade up".

    A.... N....

    MetFan37.. Thnx for replies guys.. They keep looking for the California that aint there.. Mell Tillis sing a song bout that.. ( There Ain't No California )

  71. R.... ....

    Beautiful song..classic..

    A.... N....

    you got that right

    A.... N....

    J.W. Gauntt. Thanks. I love these old songs they had something the songs now no longer have.

  74. J.... ....

    Humans sabotaged it, that's what happened.

  75. C.... A....

    This song reminds me of my parents!They stood together no matter what! Great song BJ!!

  76. M.... w....

    If Mr BJ could have only known what was coming in the years after this was written ):

    M.... w....

    ain't that the truth , only thought it was bad

  77. G.... M....

    man oh man .. loving me some b.j. thomas .. so many of us girls of that era had such a crush on him .. what a man, what a voice .. he's such a pure soul .. been through all the sturm and drang many artists have been and he's such an humbled person .. god bless you darlin' and keep on singing .. you are loved!!!

  78. C.... ....

    Love isn't about convenience, it's about dedication.

    That incredible voice!

  84. R.... L....

    a wonderful dude

  85. L.... ....

    remember when music had soul. i miss the 70;s and 80's!
    we lost something in this new millenium. im not quite sure what it was. But I can feel it deep down in my soul. Something is missing from society today. It reflects in the music, tv, and movies. Some kind of magic is gone. Replaced by something less and far from our true nature

    L.... ....

    100% agree.

    L.... ....

    Thank your stars that you won't live to see two generations forward.

    L.... ....

    For sure, me too, I miss the integrity of folk. Crying right now in the UK for those years, a good crying ..... glad we had them! Thanks B J......brings it back for a short while hearing you sing this. xx

  86. C.... C....

    who put the kabosh on his version of " wind beneath my wings" anyway?

  87. h.... s....

    one of the finest voices and performer...

  88. K.... C....

    I love this song!

  89. J.... ....

    Fabulous song

    J.... ....

    So very true! He eludes to this in his concerts - "remember back when music was music" he says.

  90. R.... A....

    To bad love today isn't as true and pure as it was back then. Rarchuleta

    R.... A....

    It can be, it’s all in your perspective. I’m 52 in a few
    days. And I’ve been with my love/wife, for 30 year. Still going strong.

  91. M.... S....

    this reminds me of my mom and dad, they stayed though thick and thin. They missed 50 years by 3 months when we lost dad.

    M.... S....

    Mel Scherek 😞😞😞

    M.... S....

    Mine too. I am so blessed to still have them in my life.... 63 years next week...love you Mom and Dad forever and beyond.

    M.... S....

    Shirley, your comment was so beautiful I could cry. You and I are certainly both most fortunate. I am Donald Mayer and I just turned 62 years old. I've been blind since birth and use a talking computer. Shirley, my wife died in December of 2016. I hope you still have your husband with you. This song has a particularly powerful message for me today. I cannot go into it on youtube but this is such a powerful song. I really hope you and your family have a blessed and merry Christmas season. By the way, I should have explained my parents are both still living. I spent thanksgiving with my parents and my brothers in Sunset South Carolina. Now, I've filled in all the details. Have a good night.

    @Kristy Pyevich Nowadays marriages tend to end in divorce, with one reason being cheating. Other than that couples would rather jump ship than work their problems out. If people would stop to consider the (high) cost of divorce, they'd be more inclined to stay together (unless one partner is abusive).

    music truly has no barrier it doesn't separate us it unites us in emotions and space.

    I'm a 44 year old black women and my grandson loved this song she played it in the morning before I left for school. I had to be may be 7 or 8

  94. l.... ....

    Whatever happened to the 80s.....

  95. P.... L....

    love this song and many of his others

  96. P.... ....

    This song always reminds me of my parents just had their 40th anniversary

  97. J.... C....

    What a voice. What great words that fill me with a yearning for something simpler and purer.
