The Sweetest Thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the stillness of the dawn
Our love is dead and gone
The sunrise warms my heart
With memories of you
It's the sweetest thing - remembering
There's a picture in the hall
That I'm leaving on the wall
'Cause there's a look in your eyes
That always made me fall apart
It's the sweetest thing - remembering
When I close my eyes to cry
I can't help but feel a smile
'Cause I think of you and I forget
It hurt to say goodbye
Chorus:
But after all that we've been through
It's amazing to me
The sweetest thing's remembering
Oh the sweetest thing - remembering
We wanted love to last forever
And the good lord knows we tried
But when the rain came pouring down
There was no place left to hide
Chorus:
It's the sweetest thing - remembering
