Lyrics
- Now that I see you again, Dear
Now that I see your dear face
Mem’ries in me it awakens
Mem’ries that naught can erase
Bringing me pictures of childhood
Rosy with warm summer glow
That’s when you whispered you loved me
Years, years ago
Chorus
Year, years ago, Dear
Long years ago
You were my sweetheart
I was your beau
Darling, time has not changed me
I love you so
Say you’ll be mine, dear
As years, years ago
- Don’t you remember the time, Dear
They used to tease you ’bout me
That always made me so happy
Happy and proud as could be
You never thought of denying
That we were sweetheart and beau
Back in the days of our childhood
Years, years ago
