Childhood Sweetheart Lyrics by Chuck Berry

Childhood Sweetheart

Last night, I had a beautiful dream
Last night, in the wee wee hours, oh yes
Had a beautiful dream
Ain't about my childhood sweetheart
How true and real it seemed

I had dreamt we was walkin?br Hand in hand, home from school
Yeah, I dreamt we was walkin?together
Hand in hand, home from school.
Yeah, if it hadn't be for you darling,
I'd broke my mother's rule.

Yeah, you was only sixteen,
So young and yet so fine
Yeah, you was only sixteen,
So young, yet so fine.
You said when you finish school
You let me take and make you mine.

-Oh Yeah

Yeah, you had those same pretty eyes,
Same sweet little smile
You had those same pretty eyes,
Same sweet little smile.
I had dreamt about the sweet things
We used to do, when you was a child

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 leave you down the twilight
I'll go to sleep and dream again.
