Gordon Lightfoot Oh So Sweet Lyrics

A-one, two, three, four...

It's so easy to live with no fear or deceit
But sometimes I think maybe I have skipped a beat
The road I chose was not all it should be
But sometimes it was, oh, so sweet
Sometimes I remember hearin' raindrops fall
Feelin' my love breathing alongside of me
It ain't easy to live with no tears of regret
But sometimes it was, oh, so sweet

There's a room in my soul where old hearts are at rest
The mention of which breeds only an empty nest
Go with the flow where society heeds
But sometimes it was, oh, so sweet Healing in my dream world, ear close to the ground
I can hear the rumble of the things I love
It ain't easy to grieve over things said and done
But sometimes life was, oh, so sweet

Oh, the less we believe in, the less we belong
Let's all gather round so that we can carry on
Stick to the mainstream and we'll be okay
But sometimes it was, oh, so sweet
Sometimes I remember seeing starlight fade
Back when life was still only a mystery
Wasn't it good, wasn't it bad, or the best you ever had
But sometimes it was, oh, so sweet
