THE SWEETEST SONG I SING
Words and music by Tim O'Brien, ©1981.
As recorded by Hot Rize on "Radio Boogie"

Was in the spring we met each other,
And by chance a seed was sown.
Now it's five years we've been together,
And our love, how big it's grown.

CHO: And you're the one who wears my ring,
And these hard times don't mean a thing.
I may be poor but I'm a king.
You are the sweetest song I sing.

Well, no one knows the love we have, dear,
How two hearts can beat as one,
Your smiling eye and way of kissing,
A loving touch when day is done. CHO.

Some people plan for the future.
They build a house and they save their pay.
They need a sign to go on living,
But I know a better way. CHO.

I may be poor but I'm a king.
You are the sweetest song I sing.
