If I Could Only Start Over Lyrics - Mel Tillis

Now if I could only start over and have a new life to begin 

I wouldn't live like a rover and drift like a leaf in the wind 

Cause I'm dreaming tonight of old sweethearts and believe me I've had quite a few 

But I never dreamed of old sweethearts the way that I dream about you 

[ fiddle - dobro ] 

Yes I let you slip through my fingers while foolishly searching around 

But if I could only start over I know you could settle me down 

Cause I'm dreaming tonight... 

But I never dreamed of old sweethearts the way that I dream about you
