Sweet Thing Lyrics

And I will stroll the merry way
And jump the hedges first
And I will drink the clear
Clean water for to quench my thirst
And I shall watch the ferry-boats
And they'll get high, high, high
On a bluer ocean
Against tomorrow's sky
And I will never ever grow so old again
And we will walk and talk
In gardens all misty wet with rain
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
Oh my, my, my, my, my
Oh my, my, my, my, my sweet thing
And I shall drive my chariot
Down your streets and cry
'hey, it's me, I'm dynamite
And I don't know why'
And you will hold me strongly
In your arms again
Pretty babe
I will not remember
That I even felt the pain.
And we will walk and talk
In gardens all misty wet with rain
And I will never, ever
Grow so old again.

Oh sweet thing
Oh my, my, my, my, my sweet thing, sweet thing
Sweet
And I will raise my hand up
Into the midnight sky
And count all the lights
That shining up in your eye
Just to dig it all an' not to question
Well that's just fine
Just to dig it all an' never wonder
Well that's just fine
And I'll be satisfied
Not to read between the lines
And we will walk and talk
In gardens all misty wet with rain
You know we will someday
And we, you and me will walk and talk
In gardens all misty wet with rain
Oh you and me, we will walk and talk
In gardens all misty wet with rain
And we will walk
In gardens all misty wet with rain
And we shall walk
In gardens all misty wet with rain
And we shall walk and talk
In gardens all misty wet with rain
And we will never, ever
Grow so old again.

Oh sweet thing
Oh sweet thing
Sweet thing, oh you know we will
Oh you know we will
Remember the day when I held your hand
And the look in my eyes only you can understand
Remember when we held each other soft and long
And nothing could ever be that strong
Ssshhhhh
Sleep tonight with dreams as sweet as angels wings
And all your dreams will bring you sweeter things
Sweet, sweet, sweet things
Oh sweet thing
Don't ya, don't, don't ya
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Come here let me tell ya, let me tell ya how much i love you

Oh sweet thing
Oh sweet thing
Oh sweet thing
Oh sweet thing
You know we will walk and talk
In gardens all misty wet with rain
And we'll never grow so old again

Oh sweet thing
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet thing
Sweet thing, sweet thing
Oh my sweet thing

I love love this song. Beautiful imagery and meaning. I always thought he said "And count all the lights That shining up in your eye"?

Stunning Version. He turns the 3 minute original into this song of Epic Beauty

Love this version...it's really uplifting and pretty. He does add his own lyrics in somewhere though, right?

My favourite line - "And I shall drive my chariot Down your streets and cry 'hey, it's me, I'm dynamite And I don't know why"
