THE SWEETEST THING (I'VE EVER KNOWN)
Juice Newton   
Words and Music by Otha Young

- (#1 in 1981)

When I see you
In the morning
That ole sleep
Still in your eyes
I remember
All the laughter
And the tears
We shared last night....
And as we lie here
Just two shadows
In the light
Before the dawn
The sweetest thing
I’ve ever known
Is loving you

And I have never
Been afra-aid of loo-o-sing
And I have never
Wanted love
To be a cha-ain...
I only know that
When I’m with you
You’re my sunshine
You’re my ra-a-ain
The sweetest thing....
I’ve ever known
Is loving yo-u-u-u



Now you and I
We’re not children
We have both
Been loved before
We have given
And we have taken
Many rides
On troubled shores....
And all the heartaches
and temptations
only make me
Love you mo-o-ore
The sweetest thing
I’ve ever known
Is loving you-u-u

And I have never
Been afra-aid of loo-o-sing
And I have never
Wanted love
To be a cha-a-ain...
I only know that
When I’m with you
You’re my sunshine
You’re my ra-a-a-ainnn
The sweetest thing....
I’ve ever known
Is loving yo-u-u-u
The sweetest thing....
I’ve ever known
Is loving yoooouuuuu
