Oh So Sweet

A-one, two, three, four It's so easy to live with no fear or deceit But sometimes I think maybe I have skipped a beat The road I chose was not all it should be But sometimes it was, oh, so sweet Sometimes I remember hearin' raindrops fall Feelin' my love breathing alongside of me It ain't easy to live with no tears of regret But sometimes it was, oh, so sweet There's a room in my soul where old hearts are at rest The mention of which breeds only an empty nest Go with the flow where society heeds But sometimes it was, oh, so sweet Healing in my dream world, ear close to the ground I can hear the rumble of the things I love It ain't easy to grieve over things said and done But sometimes life was, oh, so sweet Oh, the less we believe in, the less we belong Let's all gather 'round so that we can carry on Stick to the mainstream and we'll be okay But sometimes it was, oh, so sweet Sometimes I remember seeing starlight fade Back when life was still only a mystery Wasn't it good, wasn't it bad? Or the best you ever had? But sometimes it was, oh, so sweet --- Oh So Sweet - Gordon Lightfoot
