SWEETEST OF ALL
(Shel Silverstein)
Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show - 1978


Out of all of the nights I remember
Of all of the loves I recall
There are many who live in my memory
But you were the sweetest of all

Wasn't it sweetest of all, babe
Wasn't it sweetest of all
I wasn't your first love, I wasn't your last
But wasn't it sweetest of all

Some times I still think about you
Some times I wish that you'd call
Some times I feel like you're lyin' here with me
And it's still the sweetest of all

So keep your goodbyes in your pocket
You ain't goin' nowhere at all
Your memory is stayin' here with me
`Cause you were the sweetest of all

Wasn't it sweetest of all, babe
Wasn't it sweetest of all
Of all of the lovers you let lie beside you
Weren't we sweetest of all

Wasn't it sweetest of all, babe
Wasn't it sweetest of all
Of all of the lovers you let lie beside you
Wasn't it sweetest of all

Weren't we sweetest of all, babe
Weren't we sweetest of all
Of all of the lovers you let lie beside you
Were we sweetest of all
