Short and Sweet

A soft summer rain she was when she came and settled my old dusty worn-out soul While I watched in a dream and dreamed as I watched The sweetest and the shortest story told Short and sweet were those good old songs of yesterday Short and sweet Lord was the warm and tender love she gave to me Short and sweet Lord so short and sweet Walking down the same old roads good Lord knows I toted loads But that was back before she came along Now I'm lost and alone singing some old worn out song Where the darkness stretches time ten to one Short and sweet --- Short and Sweet - Bobby Bare
