Lyrics The Shirelles

The Shirelles

What A Sweet Thing That Was

You said hello and loneliness said goodbye then

It made me so glad that 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

Oh my, my, my, my, my, my

What a sweet thing to do

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

Oh my, my, my, my, my, my

What a sweet thing to do

I heard you sighin'

I felt like cryin'

You weren't lying

No no

What a sweet thing that was

And then I heard you whisper the word forever

I knew that we'd spend the rest of our lives together

That feeling we shared

Was too much to bear

And when you said you cared, I swear

I felt that I was ready to die

Oh my, my, my, my, my, my

What a sweet thing that was
