[Verse 1]
Out of all of the nights I remember
Of all of the loves I recall
There are many who live in my memory
But you were the sweetest of all
[Chorus 1]
Wasn't it sweetest of all, babe?
Wasn't it sweetest of all?
I wasn't your first love
I wasn't your last
But wasn't it sweetest of all?
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus 2]
Wasn't it sweetest of all, babe?
Wasn't it sweetest of all?
Of all of the lovers
You let lie beside you
Weren't we sweetest of all?
[Chorus 2]
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?
[Chorus 2]
Weren't we sweetest of all, babe?
Weren't we sweetest of all (wasn't it sweetest)
Of all of the lovers
You let lie beside you
Weren't we sweetest of all (weren't we sweetest)
[Outro]
Oh, weren't we
Oh, weren't we
Out of all of the nights I remember
Of all of the loves I recall
There are many who live in my memory
But you were the sweetest of all
[Chorus 1]
Wasn't it sweetest of all, babe?
Wasn't it sweetest of all?
I wasn't your first love
I wasn't your last
But wasn't it sweetest of all?
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus 2]
Wasn't it sweetest of all, babe?
Wasn't it sweetest of all?
Of all of the lovers
You let lie beside you
Weren't we sweetest of all?
[Chorus 2]
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?
[Chorus 2]
Weren't we sweetest of all, babe?
Weren't we sweetest of all (wasn't it sweetest)
Of all of the lovers
You let lie beside you
Weren't we sweetest of all (weren't we sweetest)
[Outro]
Oh, weren't we
Oh, weren't we
