Those Sweet Words Lyrics
What did you say
I know I saw you saying it
My ears won't stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
What did you say
And now the day
The hour hand has spun
Before the night is done
I just have to hear
Those sweet words
Spoken like a melody
All your love
Is a lost balloon
Rising up through the afternoon
'Til it could fit on the head of a pin
Come on in
Did you have a hard time sleeping
'Cause a heavy moon was keeping you awake
And all I know is I'm just glad to see you again
See my love
Like a lost balloon
Rising up through the afternoon
And then you appear
What did you say
I know I saw you saying it
My ears won't stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
And your simple melody
I just have to hear
Your sweet words
Spoken like a melody
I just wanna hear
Those sweet words
I know I saw you saying it
My ears won't stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
What did you say
The hour hand has spun
Before the night is done
I just have to hear
Those sweet words
Spoken like a melody
Is a lost balloon
Rising up through the afternoon
'Til it could fit on the head of a pin
Did you have a hard time sleeping
'Cause a heavy moon was keeping you awake
And all I know is I'm just glad to see you again
Like a lost balloon
Rising up through the afternoon
And then you appear
I know I saw you saying it
My ears won't stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
And your simple melody
Your sweet words
Spoken like a melody
I just wanna hear
Those sweet words

i was watching this stupid movie called alex and emma. i dont know how i got through to the end of it... but i did. and as soon as the credits popped up i heard this amazing song and amazing voice. it sounded so familiar, i thought to myself... this sounds like norah jones! i looked it up, and it turned out it was her! i think this is one of the best songs on her new album. hope she comes out with it. just an amazing voice!
this is an amazing song, one of my faves
is it just me or are "those sweet words" intended to sound like "those three words" (i love you)? great song
Come on! one of the greatest songs by Norah ever.. cant believe there are only a few comments
anyway,
the song is pretty straight forward.. a feel good love song where "those sweet words" were said. The lyrics on these song are so sweet, it fits the melody just right. Makes me fall in love everytime i hear it.
a few years ago this boy i liked gave me this song on a cd....it was so sweet because we had to do secret santa and there were all these love songs on it...since then ive loved this song!!!!
