Now if I could only start over and have a new life to begin

Oh I wouldn't live like a rover and drift like a leaf in the wind

Cause I'm dreaming tonight of old sweethearts and believe me I've had quite a few

But I never dreamed of old sweethearts the way that I dream about you

[ fiddle - el.banjo ]

Yes I let you slip through my fingers while foolishly searching around

But if I could only start over I know you could settle me down

Cause I'm dreaming tonight...

But I never dreamed of old sweethearts the way that I dream about you
