[Verse 1]
Last night
I had a beautiful dream
Last night, in the wee wee hours
Oh yes, had a beautiful dream
Dreamed about my childhood sweetheart
How true and real it seemed

[Verse 2]
And I dream we was walking
Hand in hand, home from school
Yeah, I dreamed we was walking together
Hand in hand, home from school
Yeah, if it hadn't been for you darling
I'd've broke my mother's rule

[Verse 3]
Yeah, you was only sixteen
So young but yet so fine
Yeah, you was only sixteen
So young, yet so fine
You said when you would finish school
You'd let me take and make you mine

Oh yeah!
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 4]
Yeah, you had those same pretty eyes
Same sweet little smile
You had those same pretty eyes
Same sweet little smile
And I dreamed of all the sweet things
You used to do when you was a child

[Verse 5]
You were my childhood sweetheart
Love you now and loved you then
You were my childhood sweetheart
I love you now and I loved you then
And when I'll lay me down in twilight
I'll go to sleep and dream again
