How Sweet It Is (to Be Loved By You) Lyrics - Atlanta Civic Hall, May 13, 1981 - James Taylor

How sweet it is to be loved by you 

How sweet it is to be loved by you 

I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were 

I needed someone to understand my ups and downs and there you were 

With sweet love and devotion 

Deeply touching my emotion 

I want to stop and thank you baby 

I wanna stop and thank you baby, yes I do 

How sweet it is to be loved by you, feels so fine 

How sweet it is to be loved by you 

I close my eyes at night 

Wondering where would I be without you in my life 

Everything I did was just a bore 

Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before 

But you brighten up for me all of my days 

With a love so sweet in so many ways 

I wanna stop and thank you baby 

I just wanna stop and thank you baby, oh yes 

How sweet it is to be loved by you, it's just like sugar sometimes 

How sweet it is to be loved by you, oh yeah 

You were better to me than I was to myself 

For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else 

I wanna stop and thank you baby 

I just wanna stop and thank you baby, oh yes 

How sweet it is to be loved by you 

How sweet it is to be loved by you 

Oh now, how sweet it is to be loved by you 

It's like jelly baby, oh 

How sweet it is to be loved by you 

Just like honey to the bee, baby, yeah, now 

How sweet it is to be loved by you
