I saw myself in the mirror just the other day I saw the lines of age and the signs of rage in my face You would never guess it to see me now But I once could turn a head or two Twenty years and sweet dreams ago Twenty years and sweet dreams ago I left my home and family and I headed for the city lights I said my prospects are good and I just know I will do all right I had such great ambitions then I suffered a setback or two That was twenty years and sweet dreams ago I have had my share of lovers Some I did not know so well But those days are gone I am longing to see you again Every night I think of you I'm so sorry I hurt you so Twenty years and sweet dreams ago Twenty years and sweet dreams ago
