The Shirelles - What a sweet thing that was lyrics

You said hello and loneliness said goodbye then It made me so glad that I almost had to cry then I never believed in love at first sight But when you held me tight that night I knew with you it wasn't a lie Oh my, my, my, my, my, my What a sweet thing to do Your soul was sweet your lips were warm and tender I wanted your kiss I couldn't resist surrender I could have sworn that violins played 'Cause when the rhythm swayed with you so near I heard the sound of your sigh Oh my, my, my, my, my, my What a sweet thing to do I heard you sighin' I felt like cryin' You weren't lying No no What a sweet thing that was And then I heard you whisper the word forever I knew that we'd spend the rest of our lives together That feeling we shared Was too much to bear And when you said you cared, I swear I felt that I was ready to die Oh my, my, my, my, my, my What a sweet thing that was
