My Sweetheart Was My Friend

I wish that I could meet
My old high school sweetheart
I'd marry her and live with her again
I wish that I could believe
My dreams are but breezes
Pepper sneezes
My sweetheart was my friend

And I'd say amen
My sweetheart was my friend
Why can't you come again?
I remember everything
But you'd say no
The past is always golden
And everything has shown us
That we're older

Still, I wish that I could meet
My old high school dreamboat
We'd find a home, and secrets would forsake us
And I can feel her heartbeat
Somewhere far across the air
But memory's the coolest breeze to live on

Well, my sweetheart was my friend
Why can't we live again on each other?
Well, my sweetheart was my friend
I feel the desert wind like forever

I'd say amen
Just to hold her hand
And head into the promised land together
But you'd still say no
The past is always golden
The years have all been sold to us
And now it's over

Still, I wish that I could meet
My old high school sweetheart
I'd marry her and live with her again
Then I could believe
My dreams are but breezes
Pepper sneezes
My sweetheart was my friend
Well, my sweetheart was my friend
No, no, no
My sweetheart was my friend
