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, mama
I wanna stop and thank you mama, 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 do, reminds me of you
Everywhere I go, I wish you were there too
You brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I wanna stop and thank you, mama
I just wanna stop and thank you mama, oh yes
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
