Short And Sweet Lyrics - Bobby Bare

A soft summer rain she was when she came and settled my old dusty worn-out soul 

While I watched in a dream and dreamed as I watched 

The sweetest and the shortest story told 

Short and sweet were those good old songs of yesterday 

Short and sweet Lord was the warm and tender love she gave to me 

Short and sweet Lord so short and sweet 

Walking down the same old roads good Lord knows I toted loads 

But that was back before she came along 

Now I'm lost and alone singing some old worn out song 

Where the darkness stretches time ten to one 

Short and sweet
