Sweetheart

If I was your sweetheart, and you were my darling

I'd always remember the way you look now

Even here in this diner, your bright eyes shining

And you're always smiling when you're by my side

 

And that man, he's rude, he talks to you just like you were his wife

But I would be more kind

My coffee cup has been filled up for the seventh time

And you're so on my mind

 

If I was your secret and you were my keeper

I think we'd be happy and rarely be blue

We'd run around laughing and maybe go out dancing

If I was your sweetheart and you were my darling

 

And all I'd ever want from you is that you would keep it true

And I'd write songs for you

And we'd go round the world to see all the disappearing things

And then we'd vanish too

If I was your sweetheart

 

That man, he's rude, he talks to you just like you were his wife

But I would be more kind

My coffee cup has been filled up for the seventh time

And you're so on my mind

 

If I was your sweetheart and you were my darling

I'd take off your apron

You've been a good waitress
