In the stillness of the dawn 
 Our love is dead and gone 
 The sunrise warms my heart 
 With memories of you 
 It's the sweetest thing--remembering 

 There's a picture in the hall 
 That I'm leaving on the wall 
 'Cause there's a look in your eyes 
 That always made me fall apart 
 It's the sweetest thing--remembering 
 When I close my eyes to cry 
 I can't help but feel a smile 
 'Cause I think of you and I forget 
 It hurt to say goodbye 

 But after all we've been through 
 It's amazing to me 
 The sweetest thing's remembering 
 Oh the sweetest thing--remembering 

 We wanted love to last forever 
 And the good Lord knows we tried 
 But when the rain came pouring down 
 There was no place left to hide 

 But after all we've been through 
 It's amazing to me 
 The sweetest thing's remembering 
 Oh the sweetest thing--remembering 

 It's the sweetest thing--remembering
