The Shirelles What a Sweet Thing That Was

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
(repeat and fade)
