[Verse 1]
The sweetest thing I've ever known
Was like the kiss on the collarbone
The soft caress of happiness
The way you walk, your style of dress
I wish I didn't get so weak
Ooh, baby, just to hear you speak
Makes me argue just to see
How much you're in love with me

[Chorus]
See like the queen upon her throne
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known

Warm as the sun dipped in black
Fingertips on the small of my back

How sad (So sad), how sad that all things come to an end

[Chorus]
But then again (Again), I'm, I'm not alone
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known

[Outro]
Ah
I sometimes watch you in your sleep
Ah
Excuse me if I get to deep (Ha)
