We Were Always Sweethearts
Boz Scaggs · Original Album Classics [2011]
We were always sweethearts, different in our ways
Together we spent happy hours and, oh, happy days
Laughing in the sunshine and crying in the rain
Together we knew happy days
We never knew no pain, yeah
Cloudy day, sunny sunshine
Happy days will never be the same
I was her man, and she my queen
Together we knew happy days honestly
Lying in the grass and laying on our butts, yeah yeah
We were always different, different in our ways
Together we knew happy hours, and oh happy ways
Lying out together and never mind the weather
Together we knew happy days
We never had it better.. yeah
Cloudy days, sunny sunshine
Happy days will never be the same, no, no, no, no, no
Aah, get it
Oh, times can be so hard you'll see
Never, never know in stormy weather
Times can be so hard to be
Never, never knowing we're together, yeah
We were always sweethearts, different in our ways
Together we spent happy hours and, oh, happy days
Laughing in the sunshine and crying in the rain
Together we knew happy days
We never knew no pain, yeah
Cloudy days, sunny sunshine
Happy days will never be the same
Together we spent happy hours and, oh, happy days
Laughing in the sunshine and crying in the rain
Together we knew happy days
We never knew no pain, yeah
Cloudy day, sunny sunshine
Happy days will never be the same
I was her man, and she my queen
Together we knew happy days honestly
Lying in the grass and laying on our butts, yeah yeah
We were always different, different in our ways
Together we knew happy hours, and oh happy ways
Lying out together and never mind the weather
Together we knew happy days
We never had it better.. yeah
Cloudy days, sunny sunshine
Happy days will never be the same, no, no, no, no, no
Aah, get it
Oh, times can be so hard you'll see
Never, never know in stormy weather
Times can be so hard to be
Never, never knowing we're together, yeah
We were always sweethearts, different in our ways
Together we spent happy hours and, oh, happy days
Laughing in the sunshine and crying in the rain
Together we knew happy days
We never knew no pain, yeah
