Bobby Bare - Short And Sweet Lyrics

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 wornout song

Where the darkness stretches time ten to one

Short and sweet...
