Lyrics
- School ways, love days
I’m longing, dear, for you
Back to bygone days when you loved me too
When we both were kids at school
There we vowed we ne’er would part
Let us live the Golden Rule
And be my old sweetheart
Chorus
Can’t we be the same school-day sweethearts?
Let us wander back once more
Thru the little lane where we parted
Back to childhood days of yore
You were my own sunbonnet sweetheart
In your gingham gown some how
When I looked at you, I knew you loved me too
Let’s be school-day sweethearts now
- It seems in dreams
I’m roaming, dear, with you
In the gloaming, just as we used to do
In the moonlight’s mellow glow
There you gave your heart to me
Let’s go back to long ago
To days that used to be
