"The Sweetest Thing (I've Ever Known)" Lyrics 


When I see you in the morning
With that old sleep still in your eyes
I remember all the laughter
And the tears we shared last night
And as we lie here
Just two shadows
In the light before the dawn
The sweetest thing
I've ever known
Is lovin' you

And I have never been afraid of losin'
And I have never wanted love to be a chain
I only know that when I'm with you
You're my sunshine, you're my rain
The sweetest thing
I've ever known, is lovin' you

Now you and I
We're not children


We have both been loved before
We have given and we have taken
Many rides on troubled shores
But all the heartaches and temptations
Only made me love you more
The sweetest thing
I've ever know
Is lovin' you

And I have never been afraid of losin'
And I have never wanted love to be a chain
I only know that when I'm with you
You're my sunshine, you're my rain
The sweetest thing
I've ever known
Is lovin' you

The sweetest thing
I've ever known
Is loving yooooooou

"Queen of Hearts" Lyrics 


Midnight-And I'm a-waitin'
On the twelve-0-five
Hopin' it'll take me
Just a little farther down the line

Moonlight
You're just a heartache in disguise
Won't you keep my heart from breakin'
If it's only for a very short time

Playing with the queen of hearts
Knowin' it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
Who'll do anything for you
Laying out another lie
Thinkin' 'bout a life of crime
'Cos that's what I'll have to do
To keep me away from you

Honey, you know it makes you mad
Why is everybody tellin' everybody
What you have done
Baby, I know it makes you sad
But when they're handin' out the heartaches
You know you got to have you some

Playing with the queen of hearts
Knowin' it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool


Who'll do anything for you
Laying out another lie
Thinkin' 'bout a life of crime
'Cos that's what I'll have to do
To keep me away from you

[Instrumental Interlude]

Lovers, I know you've had a few
But hide your heart beneath the covers
And tell 'em they're the only one
And others, they know just
What I'm going through
And it's a-hard to be a lover
When you say you're only in it for fun

Playing with the queen of hearts
Knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
Who'll do anything for you

Playing with the queen of hearts
And knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
Who'll do anything for you

And laying out another lie
Thinkin' 'bout a life of crime
'Cos that's what I'll have to do
To keep me away from you
