The Sweetest Thing - Carlene Carter

In the stillness of the dawn

Our love is dead and gone

The sunrise warms my heart

With memories of you

It’s the sweetest thing — remembering

There’s a picture in the hall

That I’m leaving on the wall

'Cause there’s a look in your eyes

That always made me fall apart

It’s the sweetest thing — remembering

When I close my eyes to cry

I can’t help but feel a smile

'Cause I think of you and I forget

It hurt to say goodbye

But after all that we’ve been through

It’s amazing to me

The sweetest thing’s remembering

Oh the sweetest thing — remembering

We wanted love to last forever

And the good lord knows we tried

But when the rain came pouring down

There was no place left to hide

It’s the sweetest thing — remembering
