[Verse One]
Winter and moonlight
It's an old-fashioned song
Julie's in blue jeans
Now her love has gone

[Pre-Chorus]
She's an old-fashioned feeling
She's an old-fashioned song
Julie's in love now
But love has gone

[Chorus]
It's a natural thing
It's a natural thing

[Verse Two]
I never knew her
I never tried
Julie would run by
Crying, teary-eyed

[Pre-Chorus]
She was old-fashioned feeling
She was old-fashioned song
Julie's in blue lace
And love has gone
Her love has gone

[Chorus]
It's a natural thing
It's a natural thing
It's a natural thing

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh
She was old-fashioned feeling
She was old-fashioned song, yes Julie
Now Julie's in blue lace
And love has gone
Well, love has gone
Well, love has gone

[Chorus]
It's a natural thing
(It's a natural thing)
It's a natural thing
([?])
It's a natural thing

[Outro]

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
