SWEET BITTER LOVE
Van McCoy

Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin, Marcia Griffiths

Sweet Bitter Love
Sweet sweet bitter love
Sweet sweet bitter love
The taste still lingers
Go through my helpless fingers
You slipped away

Sweet sweet bitter love
What joy you brought me
What pain you taught me
In so short a stay
You slipped away

My magic dreams
Have lost their spell
Where there was hope
There's just an empty shell

Sweet bitter love
Why have you awakened
And then forsakened
A trusting heart like mine

My magic dreams
Have lost their spell
Where there was hope
There's just an empty shell

Sweet sweet bitter love
What joy you brought me
What pain you taught me
In so short a stay

Sweet bitter love
Why have you awakened
And then forsakened
A trusting heart -
A trusting heart like mine...
