Circle left
*Back in my younger days when I was running wild
Lookin' at the world through the eyes of a child

Men star right and you roll it once around
Allemande the corner lady, weave on 'round
I wish that I had loved you better
I wish that I had loved you more
If only I could see you one more time
Now that I know what love is for


FIGURE    Plus, corner progression

Head (side) ladies chain now turn them with an arm around
Heads (sides) you promenade go halfway 'round
Lead out to the right, everybody veer left
Now ladies hinge to a diamond circulate
Flip the diamond, boys cross fold, corner swing
Swing and promenade
If only I could see you one more time
Now that I know what love is for


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Love was a toy, I picked it up and threw it down
Just to watch it shatter into pieces on the ground


*Now those younger days are only memories
Playing in my mind like a gentle summer breeze


TAG

If only I could see you one more time
Now that I know what love is for
