Lyrics

  1. Can you recall the happy days we spent
    Sweetheart mine?
    Do you remember what your friendship meant
    Girl divine?
    We said “Goodbye” and then we went our ways
    It seemed I dreamed of love in vain
    If we could only live those happy days
    Once again

Chorus:
Once again, Once again
I want to know that you are mine, dear
It’s Maytime, It’s Playtime and stars above
Are glowing and showing the Road to Love
For Lovers’ Lane calls again
Let’s wander there for Auld Lang Syne, dear
As the grain needs the rain
So I need you once again

  1. Can you remember all the games we played
    Sweetheart mine?
    Can you forget the little plans we made,
    Girl divine?
    If you will only hear and heed my plea
    You’ll hear the sweetest story told
    Bring back the sunshine of your smile to me
    As of old
