The Sweetest Thing Songtext
von Albert Hammond

Broken streets, dirty pavements
Your pretty shoes are dancing in the rain
Careful ′cross this ghetto wasteland
Past the boys who sing
You are the sweetest thing (you are the sweetest thing)
You are the sweetest thing

In the subway they abuse you
Hands that touch but hands that cannot feel
Deep inside your private heaven
Everyone knows
You are the sweetest thing (you are the sweetest thing)
You are the sweetest thing

Nature made you, nature bore you
Somewhat different, different from the rest
Feel this world of toil and trouble
Laying heavy, so heavy on your breast
So heavy on your breast


Racing, rushing through the darkness
Find the light, the light that leads you home
In the doorway, I'll be waiting
To adore you
You are the sweetest thing (you are the sweetest thing)
You are the sweetest thing

One day soon we′ll take the highway
New horizons, things you've never seen
In this world you've found your dreamer
And he′s singing
You are the sweetest thing (you are the sweetest thing)
You are the sweetest thing

Hush now, sleep, ignore the sirens
Screaming voices, crying to be heard
Dream your dreams, you′ve found your lover
And he knows that
You are the sweetest thing (you are the sweetest thing)
You are the sweetest thing (you are the sweetest thing)
You are the sweetest thing
