When I think about your lovin' The sunday evenings, the fun we use to share Looking through the memories in my mind Since I've laughed and cried and thought it over Now I realize that it's never over only set aside chorus: Oh it's you sweet baby I will never be free from your embrace Sweet baby Only hopin' it's not too late to try again It's you sweet baby Ever always been captured by your smile, sweet baby I will always be right there by your side Right by your side 2. Lyin' here alone I'm dreamin' My mind keeps wanderin' why My thoughts are only you Wanderin' through the memories in myy mind How could love so real have gone so empty I just keep wanderin' why Well I ever find the love we share 3. Oh it's you sweet baby Though we've had such a long hard road to climb, sweet baby Only hopin' it's not too late to try again It's you, sweet baby Won't you try and believe in what I say, sweet baby I will always be right there by your sided, right by your side (chorus)
