Sweethearts of Old Were We. Copyright, 1894, by Wm. A. Pond & Co. Words by George Cooper. Music by Frank R. Gillis. 
In the dear old days of the long ago How bright was your smile to me; I whispered, "Darling, I love you so," And the world was fair to see. Do you still remember the rose I gave, The parting kiss at the gate? And the stars so bright and the summer night, While we would linger late? 
REFRAIN. Sweethearts of old were we, dear were you unto me; Ah, can you forget those hours when we met? Sweethearts of old were we. 
Oft I see you now in the rosy lane, And press your sweet lips so red; Your hand I hold in my own again, But the dream how soon it fled. Yet that dream of bliss in my heart I keep, The dearest life ever knew; All this world I'd give, once again to live O'er the bright past with you.-Refrain.
