Sobre el álbum
El álbum They Don't Make Them Like They Used To, de 1986, es una obra de un tono nostálgico, en la que Kenny Rogers reflexiona sobre el paso del tiempo y los valores del pasado. El disco tiene un aire crepuscular y un sonido que mezcla el country con el pop adulto.
Así pues, la canción que da título al álbum, que también formó parte de la banda sonora de la película "Tough Guys", es una oda a los viejos tiempos. La letra y la interpretación de Kenny Rogers transmiten una sensación de melancolía y de aprecio por las cosas bien hechas.
Por consiguiente, "They Don't Make Them Like They Used To" es un disco de madurez, una obra que se aleja de los grandes himnos para buscar una emoción más contenida y reflexiva.

- This Love We Share4:31
Letra
Woke up form a bad dream I thought I saw you walkin' away Sat up, heard myself scream In desperation I called your name Then gently you reached out for me Said it's alright, it was just a dream But baby, you don't know If you left me it would drive me insane I know you've said it a thousand times You'll love me til the end But darlin', I've just got to hear it again I never want to lose this love we share The world out there gets lonely I never want to lose this love we share If you weren't here to hold me Oh, my life would be over with tonight, I swear I never want to lose this, lose this, lose this love we share Don't blame me for being A little bit afraid that you'll leave You know that you're the best thing That could've ever happened to me And any man would act like this If he knew half my happiness, oh baby Got to hold you You know you're just too good to believe I know you've said it a thousand times You'll love me til the end But darlin', I've just got to hear it again I never want to lose this love we share The world out there gets lonely I never want to lose this love we share If you weren't here to hold me Oh, my life would be over with tonight, I swear I never want to lose this, lose this, lose this love we share I call your name Reach out to me, baby You've got to wake me up And show me it was just a dream You know, my life would be over with tonight, I swear I never want to lose this, lose this, lose this love we share I never want to lose this love we share The world out there gets lonely I never want to lose this love we share If you weren't here to hold me I never want to lose this love we share The world out there gets lonely I never want to lose this love we share If you weren't here to hold me I never want to lose this love we share The world out there gets lonely I never want to lose this love we share If you weren't here to hold me - If I Could Hold On To Love4:15
Letra
Just once in my life If I could find someone, if once The feeling was right I'd never let her go. I'd always be there If I could have my chance to be The only one Iy just isn't fair. If I could hold on to love I'd never let it go I'd keep it right next to my heart. If I could hold her tonight She'd never leave my side If I could only hold on to love. I'm searching my dreams I'm trying to recognize that face, Oh, who can it be? She's calling out to me and now. I'm running to her But everytime I get this close She vanishes Inyo the night. If I could hold on to love I'd never let it go I'd keep it right next to my heart. If I could hold her tonight She'd never leave my side If I could only hold on to love. Is it ever come to pass That I find a love that lasts Or is that too much to ask? If I could hold her tonight She'd never leave my side If I could only hold on to love If I could only hold on to love. - You´re My Love4:06
- Time For Love3:22
Letra
I came to try To tell you that I gotta let go Now I'm wondering why God knows I don't even know I don't care what they say I don't care what they do I don't care if it's wrong or right This feeling inside of me Is more than some fantasy It's bigger than you and me It must be time for love Spoken my mind Nothin' left for me to say Well, it's black and it's white Nothin' standing in your way Stay the night here and see Share your body with me And I'll show you two hearts on fire You're reaching out with your eyes Got me so hypnotized Now that you realize It must be time for love So hold me with all your might Take me all through the night Make everything just right It must be time for love This feeling inside of me Is more than some fantasy It's bigger than you and me It must be time for love So hold me with all your might Take me all through the night Make everything just right It must be time for love - They Don´t Make Them Like They Used To4:31
- Life Is Good, Love Is Better3:55
Letra
Life is a hustle, every day struggle Pushing your way at the top Gotta keep it on track and never look back And no, you don't dare stop. There's someone behind you keeping an eye on you Hoping you take a fall, a lady, she's liked to see me more But I can't slow down at all. She says: wow, I need some time alone I say: no, we gotta keep pushing on She said: life is good, love is better My daddy, he always preached to me You gotta reach for the sky Make rain while the sun is shining Boy, don't let it pass you by Money and power is in your hand You can do what you wanna be Oh, my baby, she's got a different philosophy. She says: wow, I need some time alone I say: no, we gotta keep pushing on She said: life is good, love is better Now I know my sweet lady must be heaven sent I just cover the meaning of what she meant I've been working so hard for the good life but I headed all the while I've found my hiding treasure, baby, right there in this smile. I say: wow, seems we've spent time alone I say: wow, how our love has grown She was right all alone I say: life is good, love is better - Just The Thought Of Losing You4:13
Letra
Two different worlds, somehow Found a way to come together Moving so close until now When we find ourselves alone So it's one more lonely night I tried to feel like it was over But just the thought of losing you And the emptiness is more than I can take Living without loving you My senses all break down Girl I'm lost at just the thought Of losing you All of my life, no one else Ever meant enough to hold me I've been afraid of myself For the way I've needed you You've been waiting much too long I know No I don't need to think it over Through the tears you stand beside me It hurts too much to think of you leaving me Just the thought of losing you And the emptiness Is more than I can take Just the thought of losing you And I close my eyes I can't see it end this way Just the thought of losing you - Anything At All4:35

Letra
We used to think our love would be A fantasy But things don't always turn out how They're supposed to be Hearts can break And I won't surrender With so much at stake After all this time Did you think I'd let you slip away from me Girl, we've come too far Just to turn our love into a memory Did you think that I could push aside All that we've been through Me and you, never give up trying After all this time Easy to turn and walk away When love goes wrong Harder to stay and work it out But if the love is strong We must choose To hold on to something We don't wanna lose After all this time Did you think I'd let you slip away from me Girl, we've come too far Just to turn our love into a memory Did you think that I could push aside All that we've been through Me and you, never give up trying After all this time Hearts can break And I won't surrender With so much at stake After all this time Did you think I'd let you slip away from me Girl, we've come too far Just to turn our love into a memory Did you think that I could push aside All that we've been through Me and you, never give up trying After all this time After all this time - Twenty Years Ago3:44
Letra
It's been a long time since I walked Through this old town But oh how the memories start to flow And there's the old movie house They finally closed it down You could find me there every Friday night Twenty years ago I worked the counter at the drugstore down the street But nobody's left there I would know On Saturday mornings that's where All my friends would meet You'd be surprised what a dime would buy Twenty years ago All my memories from those days come gather round me What I'd give if they could take me back in time Oh it almost seems like yesterday Where do the good times go? Life was so much easier twenty years ago I guess I should stop by Mr. Johnson's hardware store His only son was my friend Joe But he joined the army back in 1964 How could we know he would never come back Twenty years ago
