American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
I NEVER CAN FORGET YOU WERE MY SWEETHEART. Copyright, 1893, by T. B. Harms & Co. Words and Music by Leona Foutainbleau Jerome. 
Sweethearts were we, ever were side by side; I longed for the day when you would call me bride, Happy were we, never a thought or a care, For life seemed to be almost too bright and fair, Until one day we quarreled and passed each other by; Yet, I never can forget that we were sweethearts, you and I. 
Chorus. We were sweethearts, loving and fond and true, Once you loved me and I loved you; Sweethearts, sweethearts, drifted go far apart, Yet I never can forget you were my sweetheart. 
Sweethearts were we, cloudless our sky above, And all seemed to smile with gladness on our love; Life, like a dream, seemed to be passing by. And yet seemed too real to fade away and die. 'Tis long since last we parted, and though I often try, Yet, I never can forget that we were sweethearts, you and I.-Chorus.
