Walking down the streets of my hometown I'm back again to end my roaming round
I'm looking for the girl I left behind the one I love an old sweetheart of mine
I only meant to round before a while I said goodbye my heart was young and wild
I wonder if she missed me all the time the way I missed an old sweetheart of mine
I traveled traveled never could I find a girl like an old sweetheart of mine
I hear the church bells ring as I pass by there goes the happy groom and lovely bride
My heart stops beating as her eyes meet too late I found that old sweetheart of mine
Walking down the streets of my hometown I'm on my way I guess I roam around
But as I go I leave my heart behind I'll always love that old sweetheart of mine
I'll always love that old sweetheart of mine
