We’ll start our sweetheart days all over If your heart still beats as true. There is a duty that ev’ry man should do. My life defends it, but my heart belongs to you. So pray for the day when it’s all over ‘cause I’m coming back to you. Verse: See that lonesome lassie watching those soldier boys return.

We’ll start our sweetheart days all over In th |
