Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever [Live at the Academy of Music]The Band

Released: August 15, 1972

Songwriter: Ivy Jo Hunter Stevie Wonder

Producer: The Band

I remember yet before we met
That every night and day
I had to live the life of a lonely woman

I remember meeting you
Discovering love can be so true
When it's shared by two instead of one

When you said you love me (when you said you love me)
We could not be parted (we could not be parted)
And I built my world around you (I built my world around you)
I'm so thankful that I found you

And loving you is sweeter than ever
(I ain't never felt like this before)
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever, sweeter than ever

Each night I pray we'd never part
For the love within my heart grows stronger
From day to day

As best I can, and how I try
To reassure and satisfy
'cause I'd be lost if you went away

'cause I really need you (really really need you)
And I need for you to need me too
(if you don't go breaking my heart)
I have built my world around you
(I have built my world around you)
Baby I'm so thankful that I've found you

And loving you has made my life sweeter than ever before
(I ain't never felt like this before)
And loving you has made my life sweeter than ever
So much sweeter

That's what loving you (loving you)

'cause I really love (really really love you)
And I'm thankful that you love me too
(thankful that you love me too)
I have built my world around you
(I have built my world around you)
I am truly glad, I am truly glad
That loving you has made my life sweeter than ever
(you don't know how much this means to me)
When I'm loving you
Me, you, us

Sweeter than ever (tell me about it)
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever
(you don't know how much this means to me)
I'm loving you, you made my life sweeter than ever
(you're sweeter than ever baby)
Sweeter than ever (sweeter than ever)
So much sweeter (sweeter than ever)

Loving you
Loving you is sweeter than ever...

The Band

The Band was a Canadian-American rock group, consisting of Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel, Robbie Robertson and Levon Helm. The members first met when they joined Ronnie Hawkins' Ontario-based group “The Hawks.” After separating, they were picked up by Bob Dylan for his 1965 US Tour, and then for the 1966 World Tour.

Their relationship with Dylan helped the group move to New York, where they collaborated with him on music that would end up becoming some of the most sought-after bootlegs of the time; namely, the 1975-released project known as The Basement Tapes. They followed up these sessions with the release of their debut album, 1968’s Music From Big Pink.

They have garnered numerous accolades and critical praise over the years, including a 1994 induction into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and a 2008 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Rolling Stone magazine ranked them at number 50 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of all Time. Additionally, 1968’s “The Weight” was ranked at number 41 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
