lyrics

The Sweet Side

How'd you get to be so wise
How'd I ever come to find you
Where'd you learn to smell so nice
Why am I someone you're kind to
How'd they never warp your mind
How'd I ever live without you
How'd you ever get to be so wise

I've been told the beautiful go
So high I don't want to know
So far I could never go
Distant's the road constructed with gold
So bright that it doesn't show
The side that I'll never know
The sweet side

How'd you get to be so smooth
Why do I need so to touch you
What of you could be improved
Who'd have thought I'd simply trust you
Why are you in perfect tune
Why do I love every movement
How'd you ever get to be so smooth

I've tried before
But it's right on the door
So high you don't want to know
So far you could never go
Impossible road all shiny with gold
So bright that it will not show
The life that you cannot know
The sweet side
