HOW SWEET IT IS (To Be Loved By You)
(Holland / Dozier / Holland) 
James Taylor


How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you 

I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were 
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs and there you were 
With sweet love and devotion 
Deeply touching my emotion 
I want to stop and thank you baby 
I just want to stop and thank you baby 

How sweet it is to be loved by you 
How sweet it is to be loved by you 

I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life 
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before 
But you brighten up for me all of my days 
With a love so sweet in so many ways 
I want to stop and thank you baby 
I just want to stop and thank you baby 

How sweet it is to be loved by you 
How sweet it is to be loved by you 

You were better for me than I was for myself 
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else 
I want to stop and thank you baby 
I just want to stop and thank you baby 

How sweet it is to be loved by you
