Lyrics:
First verse
Once we were sweethearts, Not so long ago, Then I loved you so, But you didn't know; You couldn't learn to love me, You're not to blame, But I like you just the same;
Chorus
If we can't be the same old sweethearts, Then we'll just be the same old friends, For I want someone like you, Just to tell my troubles to, My happiness on you it all depends; For I've known you too long to forget you, And my old dream of love never ends, Tho' I know you can't be mine, We will meet from time to time, And we'll just be the same old friends. If we friends.
Second verse
You said you love me, Not so long ago, But you didn't know, Sweethearts come and go; Some day you'll love another, And later on, You may want me, when he's gone;
Chorus
