What A Sweet Thing That Was

What A Sweet Thing That Was - The Shirelles

You said hello and loneliness said goodbye then

It made me so glad 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 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 my

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

I heard you sighing wo

I felt like crying

You weren＇t lying no no

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

And then when I heard you whisper the word forever

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

The 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

Said oh my my my my my my my

What a sweet thing that was

What a sweet thing that was

Oh my my my my my my my

What a sweet thing that was
