Twenty Years And Sweet Dreams Ago Lyrics & Chords By Mickey Newbury

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
