Lyrics
- 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
Though I know you can’t be mine
We will meet from time to time
And we’ll just be the same old friends
- You said you loved 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
