[Verse 1]
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 now
Said oh my, my, my, my, my, my
What a sweet thing that was (sweet thing that was)

[Verse 2]
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 now
Said oh my, my, my, my, my, my
What a sweet thing that was (sweet thing that was)

[Bridge]
I heard you sighin', whoa-oh-oh
I felt like cryin'
You weren't lying, oh no no
What a sweet thing that was (sweet thing that was)

[Verse 3]
And then I heard you whisper the word, "forever"
I knew that we'd live 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 now
Well oh my, my, my, my, my, my
What a sweet thing that was (sweet thing that was)
What a sweet thing that was (sweet thing that was)
My, my, my, my, my, my (sweet thing that was)
What a sweet thing that was (sweet thing that was)
My, my, my, my, my, my...
