Short and Sweet
A soft summer rain
She was when she came
And settled my old dusty wornout soul
While I watched in a dream
And dreamed as I watched
The sweetest and the shortest story told
Short and sweet were those good old songs of yesterday
Short and sweet Lord, was the warm
And tender love she gave to me
Short and sweet Lord, so short and sweet
Walking down the same old roads
Good Lord knows I've toted loads
But that was back before she came along
Now I'm lost and alone
Singing some old wornout song
Where the darkness stretches time ten to one
Short and sweet were those good old songs of yesterday
Short and sweet Lord, was the warm
And tender love she gave to me
Short and sweet Lord, so short and sweet
She was when she came
And settled my old dusty wornout soul
While I watched in a dream
And dreamed as I watched
The sweetest and the shortest story told
Short and sweet were those good old songs of yesterday
Short and sweet Lord, was the warm
And tender love she gave to me
Short and sweet Lord, so short and sweet
Walking down the same old roads
Good Lord knows I've toted loads
But that was back before she came along
Now I'm lost and alone
Singing some old wornout song
Where the darkness stretches time ten to one
Short and sweet were those good old songs of yesterday
Short and sweet Lord, was the warm
And tender love she gave to me
Short and sweet Lord, so short and sweet
