Sweetest Of All
Shel Silverstein
Out of all of the nights I remember...
Of all of the loves I recall,
There are many who live in my memory,
But you were the sweetest of all.
Wasn't it sweetest of all, babe?
Wasn't it sweetest of all?
I wasn't your first love.
I wasn't your last.
But wasn't it sweetest of all?
Sometimes I still think about you.
Sometimes I wish that you'd call.
Sometimes I feel that you're lying here with me
And it's still the sweetest of all.
So keep your goodbyes in your pocket.
You ain't goin' nowhere at all.
Your memory is staying here with me.
'Cause you were the sweetest of all.
Wasn't it sweetest of all, babe?
Wasn't it sweetest of all?
Of all of the lovers you let lie beside you,
Weren't we sweetest of all?
Wasn't it sweetest of all, babe?
Wasn't it sweetest of all?
Of all of the lovers you let lie beside you,
Wasn't it sweetest of all?
Weren't we sweetest of all, babe?
Weren't we sweetest of all?
[Fading] Of all the lovers..............[faded out]
