Analysis of There was a sweetheart
There was a sweetheart
He flew to the moon
He said my love
will see you swoon
There was a sweetheart
He flew to the sun
He said our love
Has only just begun
There was a sweetheart
He flew throughout space
He said my love
Will make your heart race
There was a sweetheart
He flew to the Gods
And God said our love
Can never be at odds
There was a sweetheart
He flew back to earth
He said it's time
that our love gave us birth
