THE SWEETEST PAST-TIME

By Londis Carpenter © 2005

Verse #1:

If I could write a song each day, until I’m ninety-two,

Have each song playing on the radio—

I would only write true love songs, dedicate them all to you,

Because you’re the sweetest past-time that I know.

Bridge #1:

You’re the one I want to go with to the picture show

You’re the one I want to dance my dosey-do

You’re the only one it seems

That fills up all my dreams

You’re The Sweetest Past-Time

Any boy could know.

Verse #2:

If I could go-a-fishing each day of my life,

With all the fishes fighting for my line—

I’d never fish the river; I’d just fish for your true love

Because, Honey you’re my fa-vo-rite past time.

Verse #3:

If I could be a hero in a children’s story book,

Rescue maidens from the dragon’s that I slay—

I would put you on my steed of white and carry you away

So that you could be my past-time every day.

Final Bridge:

You’re the one I want to be with when I make woopee

You’re the only one I want to share my life

I love you more each day

And that is why I say

Pretty past-time—I'm so glad that you're my wife.
