What a Sweet Thing That Was

You said hello and loneliness said goodbye then

It made me so glad that I almost had to cry then

I never believed in love at first sight

But when you held me tight that night

I knew with you it wasn't a lie now

Said oh my, my, my, my, my, my

What a sweet thing that was (sweet thing that was)

Your soul was sweet, your lips were warm and tender

I wanted your kiss, I couldn't resist surrender

I could have sworn that violins played

'Cause when the rhythm swayed with you so near

I heard the sound of your sigh now

Said oh my, my, my, my, my, my

What a sweet thing that was (sweet thing that was)

I heard you sighin', whoa-oh-oh

I felt like cryin'

You weren't lying, oh no no

What a sweet thing that was (sweet thing that was)

And then I heard you whisper the word, "forever"

I knew that we'd live the rest of our lives together

That feeling we shared was too much to bear

And when you said you cared, I swear

I felt that I was ready to die now

Well oh my, my, my, my, my, my

What a sweet thing that was (sweet thing that was)

What a sweet thing that was (sweet thing that was)

My, my, my, my, my, my (sweet thing that was)

What a sweet thing that was (sweet thing that was)

My, my, my, my, my, my...
