Childhood Sweetheart

Last night, I had a beautiful dream

Last night, in the wee wee hours, oh yes

Had a beautiful dream

Ain't about my childhood sweetheart

How true and real it seemed

I had dreamt we was walkin'

Hand in hand, home from school

Yeah, I dreamt we was walkin' together

Hand in hand, home from school.

Yeah, if it hadn't be for you darling,

I'd broke my mother's rule.

Yeah, you was only sixteen,

So young and yet so fine

Yeah, you was only sixteen,

So young, yet so fine.

You said when you finish school

You let me take and make you mine.

Oh Yeah

Yeah, you had those same pretty eyes,

Same sweet little smile

You had those same pretty eyes,

Same sweet little smile.

I had dreamt about the sweet things

We used to do, when you was a child

You were my childhood sweetheart

Love you now, and loved you then

You were my childhood sweetheart

I love you now and I loved you then

And when I'll leave you down the twilight

I'll go to sleep and dream again.
