Aretha Franklin - Sweet Bitter Love lyrics

I talked to you today, we've loved each other For so long in that special way And if circumstances should keep us apart I just want you to know That you will remain forever here in my heart Sweet, sweet bitter love The taste still lingers, though through my helpless fingers You slipped away, ooh, yes you did Sweet, sweet bitter love, what joy you taught me What pain you didn't mean to but you brought me And so shall, baby and so shall it stay My magic dreams have lost their spell And where there, where there was hope Oh, there is an empty shell Oh, sweet, my my my, my my my, my my, bitter love Why have you awakened and then you've forsaken A trusting heart like mine My magic, my magic dreams They've all, they've all, all lost their spells And where there, where there was a little bit of hope Yes sir, there is, oh look at me now, there is an empty shell Oh, sweet, my my my, my my my, my my, bitter love Why have you awakened and then And then and then and then and then you know, you have forsaken A trusting heart, yeah like mine, a trusting heart like mine I love you boy, yes I do, like mine
