Lyrics
- The clock on the mantle was dusty and still
The shades on the windows were drawn
Nothing but gloom filled ev’ry room
My heart was gone
Now the clock on the mantle is ticking again
The windows are all open wide
Flowers in bloom fill ev’ry room
Once again my heart is by my side
Chorus
We’re starting all over, the parting’s all over
My heart is back again
We made up and gave in to love
I can’t wait to begin to love
My heart is back again
Got sweet dreams to dream now
It’s peaches and cream now
For love is back again
The blues that used to shadow me
Are nothing but a memory
My heart is back again
We had a little quarrel, love’s that way
I never thought I’d see her anymore
But it took a little quarrel, strange to say
To make love sweeter than ever before
I thought love was done for, but it’s just begun for
My heart is back again
Like busy bees in clovertime
We’re sippin’ honey overtime
My heart is back again
- The sun lost its sparkle, the days were all dark
The heavens were hidden by rain
Just broken dreams and shattered schemes
Seemed to remain
Now the sunbeams are dancing and songs fill the day
The heavens are smiling once more
Living is sweet, life is complete
Once again romance has found my door
