The Sweetest Thing

Carlene Carter

Compositor: Carlene Carter / Robert Ellis Orrall

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
