What A Sweet Thing That Was Lyrics By The Shirelles

    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
