I Wish That I Had Loved You Better (ESP 1113) Elmer Sheffield

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Circle Left
*Back in my younger days when I was running wild
Lookin’ at the world through the eyes of a child
Left Allemande the corner, Dosado you own
Left Allemande and Weave The Ring
I wish that I had loved you better
I wish that I had loved you better
If only I could see you one more time
Now that I know what love is for.

FIGURE

Heads Square Thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a Right Hand Star
The Heads Star Left, roll it one time and then
Same pair and do a Dosado
Swing Thru and then the Boys Trade
Swing the corner lady round and Promenade
If only I could see you one more time
Now that I know what love is for.

TAG

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

ADDITIONAL LYRICS

*Love was a toy; I picked it up and through 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.
