Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Sweethearts come, sweethearts go
As each romance ends
I have loved, I have lost
But why can’t we be friends
Refrain
When you want someone who don’t want you
Perhaps you’ll think of me
When your wasted years are wet with tears
You may need sympathy
When nights are long and stars won’t shine
Your heart may ache and break like mine
When you want someone who don’t want you
Perhaps you’ll think of me
- Just a word, just a smile
Who knows, maybe then
We’ll forgive, we’ll forget
And fall in love again
