Aretha Franklin — Sweet Bitter Love 1985

[Intro] I talk to you today We've loved each other for so long In that special way And if circumstances should keep us apart I just want you to know That you will remain forever here in my heart [Verse 1] Sweet, sweet bitter love The taste still lingers Go through my helpless fingers You slipped away Ooh, yes you did [Verse 2] Sweet, sweet bitter love What joy you taught me What pain you didn't mean to but you brought me So short Baby, so short of a stay [Chorus] Our magic dreams have lost their spells And where there, where there was hope There's an em-- an empty shell [Verse 3] Oh, sweet, my my my my my bitter love Why have you awaken And then you forsaken A trusting heart like mine [Chorus] Oh, oh, my magic dreams, oh my magic dreams have lost their spells And where there, where there was hope There's an empty shell [Verse 4] Oh sweet, my my my, my my my bitter love Why have you awaken And then, and then, and then, and then, you have forsaken A trusting heart, yeah yeah yeah A trusting heart like mine I love you boy, yes I do A trusting heart like mine
