My Sweetheart When A Boy - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
My Sweetheart when a Boy 
Tho' many gentle hearts I've known, And many a pretty face; Were love sat gayly on his throne, In beauty and in grace; Yet never was my heart enthrall'd With such enchanted joy . Is by the darling whom I call'd My sweetheart when a boy, My sweetheart when a boy. 
I hung upon her lightest word. My very joys were fears, And flutterd timid as a bird When sunshine first appears. I never thought my heart could rove. Life then had no alloy, With such a truth I seem'd to love My sweetheart when a boy, My sweetheart when a boy. 
And yet the dream has pass'd away, Tho' like it lived it pass'd; Each moment was too bright to stay, But sparkled to the last. There, on my heart, the beams remain In gay, unclouded joy, when I remember her again, My sweetheart when a boy, My sweetheart When a boy.
