Where has all the grace gone? People that say excuse me and please Men that act like gentlemen and get the door Women who wear elegant dresses and leave something to the imagination When people had poise Walks through the parks and family rides Flowers in the hair and boutonnieres Picnic lunches and love notes Music that makes you sway Cold lemonade on a summers days Sunday afternoon after church gathering around Small quaint towns where everyone belonged When kindness and empathy was taught to the young Values were still in place Long before the grace had gone
