Onetime Darling Of Mine (Larry W Jones 02/23/2020) (song #7689)

I returned to the neighborhood of my hometown

I was done with my roaming and now looking ‘round

For that onetime darling I hoped that I could find

Pretty girl so sweet, that onetime darling of mine

I know I roamed so long that I felt like exiled

I just followed my heart but it was young and wild

Oh, I thought of her and I missed her all the time

Wondered if she missed me, onetime darling of mine

(Instrumental)

Far and wide I roamed and I longed

Hoping that true love I could find

No one I found in towns I combed

Like that onetime darling of mine

I heard the old chapel bells toll as I passed by

Out strolled a handsome smiling groom and his new bride

My old dreams died at the sight of their arms entwined

Oh, too late I found that onetime darling of mine
