bill mallonee - sweetness and light lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
her wings are as soft as roses
and as you might have guessed
although they are made of roses
they are fragile nonetheless
see, i handed you a book
and that book was my life
as i recall that moment
it was all such sweetness and light

[verse 2]
you came from california
by way of tupelo
“yes, there were some others before you,” you said
“ah, but you don’t need to know”
so i fell into an ocean
but it was her sea-green eyes
as i recall, i was calling
it was all such sweetness and light

[verse 3]
i was moved more by her tears
than i ever was a sermon
got more from every tender kiss
than i ever got from book-learning
cannot say why the tides changed
maybe i held on too tight
but for awhile, i was a child
and it was all such sweetness and light

[verse 4]
she told her friends i’d come to her on some n0ble steed
ah, but it wasn’t anything like that
may be empty-handed and full of need
ah, but at least i’m good for a laugh
love makes you better than you really are
sometimes it happens overnight
come with the sunrise
you are all such sweetness and light

[verse 5]
never handed you a single word
when you set foot on that leaving coach
it’s hard to say, “i’ll miss you, girl”
with a lump in your throat
me? well, i’m still swimming for sh0r-
in those sea-green eyes
but i recall once before when i was all
i recall once before when i was all
i remember once before
when it was all such sweetness and light
sweetness and light
