Sweetest Of All

Dr. Hook · Original Gold [2004]

Out of all of the nights I remember

Of all of the loves I recall

There are many that live in my memory

But you were the sweetest of all

Wasn't it sweetest of all, babe

Wasn't it sweetest of all

I wasn't you're first love

I wasn't your last

But wasn't it sweetest of all

Sometimes I still think about you

Sometimes I wish that you'd call

And sometimes I feel like

You're lying here with me

And it's still the sweetest of all

So keep your goodbyes in your pocket

You ain't going nowhere at all

Your memory is staying here with me

'Cause you were the sweetest of all

Wasn't it sweetest of all, babe

Wasn't it sweetest of all

Of all of the lovers

You let lie beside you

Wasn't it sweetest of all

Wasn't it sweetest of all, babe

Wasn't it sweetest of all

Of all of the lovers

You let lie beside you

Wasn't it sweetest of all
