[Verse 1]
Met an old friend the other day
He was so sorry that I'd gone astray
He asked me if I needed help
I told him to go help himself

[Refrain]
My sin was the sweetest love
That’s what I'll be thinking of
My sin was the sweetest love
That's what I’ll be thinking of

[Verse 2]
Went to see the folks at home
They said I'd been doing wrong
When they said they would forgive
That's when I said live and let live

[Refrain]
My sin was the sweetest love
That's what I'll be thinking of
My sin was the sweetest love
That's what I'll be thinking of

[Verse 3]
When I'm old and ready to die
I won’t scream and I won’t cry
I'll take with me what I know
Tell the angels that I loved him so
[Refrain]
My sin was the sweetest love
That’s what I'll be thinking of
My sin was the sweetest love
That's what I'll be thinking of
