I NEVER HAD A SWEETHEART
(Glen T Moore / Milton Subotsky)
as recorded by Connie Francis
with orchestra conducted by Ray Ellis
1956
I never had a sweetheart,
No Lovers Lane for me!
No moonlight rides,
No firesides,
No romance by the sea,
Oh no, that's never happened to me!
I never had a sweetheart
Like lovers I would see.
When they pass by
I'd sit and sigh,
Unhappy as can be
To know it's never happened to me.
Then one day, all of a sudden'
My true love came my way,
And I knew that our love was here to stay!
Now lonely days are over,
I'm happy as can be!
He came along,
My life's a song,
Because I know that he's
The one wonderful sweetheart for me!
