Now if I could only start over and have a new life to begin Oh I wouldn't live like a rover and drift like a leaf in the wind Cause I'm dreaming tonight of old sweethearts and believe me I've had quite a few But I never dreamed of old sweethearts the way that I dream about you [ fiddle - el.banjo ] Yes I let you slip through my fingers while foolishly searching around But if I could only start over I know you could settle me down Cause I'm dreaming tonight... But I never dreamed of old sweethearts the way that I dream about you
