You said hello and loneliness said goodbye then
   it made me so glad 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 now
   said oh my my my my my my my
   what a sweet thing that was (sweet thing that was)
   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 now
   said oh my my my my my my my
   what a sweet thing that was (sweet thing that was)
   i heard you sighing, wo
   i felt like crying
   you weren't lying, no no
   what a sweet thing that was (sweet thing that was)
   and then when i heard you whisper the word forever
   i knew that we'd live the rest of our lives together
   the feeling we shared was too much to bear
   and when you said you cared, i swear
   i felt that i was ready to die now
   said oh my my my my my my my
   (repeat and fade)
   what a sweet thing that was (sweet thing that was)
