In the stillness of the dawn Our love is dead and gone The sunrise warms my heart With memories of you It's the sweetest thing--remembering There's a picture in the hall That I'm leaving on the wall 'Cause there's a look in your eyes That always made me fall apart It's the sweetest thing--remembering When I close my eyes to cry I can't help but feel a smile 'Cause I think of you and I forget It hurt to say goodbye But after all we've been through It's amazing to me The sweetest thing's remembering Oh the sweetest thing--remembering We wanted love to last forever And the good lord knows we tried But when the rain came pouring down There was no place left to hide But after all we've been through It's amazing to me The sweetest thing's remembering Oh the sweetest thing--remembering It's the sweetest thing--remembering
