Oh So Sweet - Gordon Lightfoot

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

Was it good, was it bad, or the best you ever had

But sometimes it was, oh, so sweet
