THE SWEETEST THING (I've Ever Known) by Juice Newton

When I see you in the morning

With the sleep still in your eyes

I remember all the laughter and the tears we shared last night

And as we lie here

Just two shadows in the light before the dawn

The sweetest thing I've ever known is loving you

And I have never been afraid of losing

I have never wanted love to be a chain

I only know that when I'm with you

You're my sunshine, you're my rain

The sweetest thing I've ever known is loving you

Now you and I we're not children

We have both been loved before

We have given and we have taken many rides on troubled shores

But all the heartaches and temptations

Only make me love you more

The sweetest thing I've ever known is loving you

And I have never been afraid of losing

I have never wanted love to be a chain

I only know that when I'm with you

You're my sunshine, you're my rain

The sweetest thing I've ever known is loving you
