Memories of a Childhood Sweetheart
by
Norma Jean Duncan
Memories of a childhood sweetheart, inbedded deep
Memories I know, I will always keep
In waking hours, and when I sleep
Memories of him always manages to creep.
Many the years that so quickly past
Still childhood memories continue to last
All those good old days, life was a blast
But time slips by much too fast.
Many times in my dream I can see
Standing there smiling sweetly at me
The childhood sweetheart I thought would be
My lover for life, my one and only.
A childhood sweetheart who can no longer share
A part of my life, yet I wonder does he still care
Today I'll say a very special prayer
For my childhood sweetheart somewhere out there.
We're wed to others now, and have children too
Also spreading middles, grey hair peeping through
Memories of a childhood sweetheart is making me blue
I wish I could live it again, how about you?
