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 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 

But after all we've been through 
It's amazing to me 
The sweetest thing's remembering 
Oh the sweetest thing--remembering 

It's the sweetest thing--remembering
