SWEET SWEET
We went together for so long
Every second record on the radio
Seemed like our song.
How we hurt each other...
Oh baby it was so wrong,
Something in the bottom of my heart
Will keep me holdin' on.

We were lovers
In the young and strong and bold days,
Turned ‘em into treasures, our silver and gold days.
Even though we’re older
There’s still nothin’ like the old days,
Something in the bottom of my heart
Will keep me holdin' on.

Cause you saved my soul,
You came along and took me out of the nighttime,
Yeah, you saved my soul,
Taught me to fly...
And I gave my heart,
And babe, it’s something that there’s just no returning...
Cause if I have you now
I’ll never have to make it alone.

We were lovers, oooh...for so long,
Every second record on the radio
Seemed like our song.
Even though we’re older
Things that we’re feelin' can’t be all wrong
Something in the bottom of my heart
Will keep me holdin' on.

Cause you saved my soul,
You came along and took me out of the nighttime,
Yeah, you saved my soul,
Taught me to fly...
And I gave my heart,
And babe, it’s something that there’s just no returning...
Cause if I have you now
I’ll never have to make it alone.

Saved my soul...taught me how to fly
You picked me up when I was falling
You saved my soul...
Came right along, you picked me up at the bottom.
You saved my soul...
Saved me...honey, gonna save me in the morning, love
Save my soul...saved me, honey...gonna save me in the evening, love
Saved my soul,
You came along and took me out of the nighttime.
Yeah, you saved my soul,
Taught me to fly...
And I gave my heart,
And babe, it’s something that there’s just no returning...
Cause if I have you now
I’ll never have to make it alone.
Oooh...lover darlin'
Yes, if I have you now, never have to walk it alone.
Listen to me when I try to tell you...
Yes, if I have you now,
I’ll never have to make it alone.
