[INTRO — SPOKEN WORD | LOW & SMOOTH] Do you remember when love had a sound? When we found something real and we held it down? Back when a promise meant more than a word, And “I got you” was something you felt, not heard. [CALL & RESPONSE] LEAD: Do you remember? BGV: We remember. LEAD: That kind of love? BGV: That kind of love. [VERSE 1 — SMOOTH RHYME] Back when the radio played slow at night, Two hearts in the dark underneath porch lights, You’d call just to hear me, no reason, no plan, Just “I miss you, baby”—you’d understand. We didn’t need much, just a little time, A handwritten note and a heart in the line, You’d walk through the rain just to see my face, And somehow your arms felt like my safe place. [PRE-CHORUS] Now everybody’s rushing, trying to get ahead, Love gets complicated by the things we never said, But somewhere in my memory, your love still stays, Like an old-school record spinning through my days. [HOOK — CALL & RESPONSE] LEAD: Bring back that love! BGV: That old-school love! LEAD: Bring back that touch! BGV: That healing touch! LEAD: Bring back those days! BGV: Those sweeter days! LEAD: When loving you— BGV: Was enough to stay! LEAD: Can we go back? BGV: Back to the feeling! LEAD: Back to the heart? BGV: Back to the healing! [VERSE 2 — SPOKEN/SUNG] I remember slow dances, no fancy room, Just you and me underneath a living-room moon, Your hands on my waist, my head on your chest, No cameras, no crowd, just giving our best. We laughed through the struggle, we cried through the pain, We stood in the sunshine, we danced in the rain, Love wasn’t perfect, but love was sincere, And somehow the hard days kept bringing us near. [SPOKEN BRIDGE — RAW] See, love ain’t always roses. Sometimes love is choosing. Sometimes love is bruising. Sometimes love is losing your pride Just to keep somebody close by your side. And maybe we changed… Maybe time rearranged… But the memories remain— Like a sweet old refrain. [CALL & RESPONSE — BUILD] LEAD: Where did the love go? BGV: It never went away! LEAD: Where did the feeling go? BGV: It’s living in yesterday! LEAD: Where did the promise go? BGV: Still written on our hearts! LEAD: Where did our story go? BGV: It never fell apart! [FINAL HOOK — SOULFUL] Bring back that love, that old-school touch, The kind that didn’t ask for too much, The kind that stayed when the road got rough, The kind that said, “Baby, we’re strong enough.” Bring back those nights, those porch-light days, Those little “I love you” in a hundred ways, Bring back the feeling, bring back the flame, Bring back a love that still knows my name. LEAD: Do you remember? BGV: We remember! LEAD: Can you feel it? BGV: We can feel it! LEAD: Is it still there? BGV: It’s still there! LEAD: Then hold on… BGV: Hold on to love. [OUTRO — SPOKEN WORD] Because some memories don’t fade… They just learn how to live in a different place. And some love doesn’t disappear… It becomes the song you still hear when the room gets quiet… and the heart gets nostalgic.
