Bittersweet - Joe South

Bittersweet

Bittersweet

Your memory

That follows me

Is bittersweet

This heart of mine keeps hangin' on

To dreams of you although you’re gone

Both good and bad

Glad and sad

Bittersweet

Bittersweet, mm-hmm

Bittersweet

A love so rare

Beyond compare

But incomplete

I can’t make up my mind if I

Should wear a smile or sit and cry

In misery

Or ecstasy

In bittersweet

Mmm, bittersweet

Ah-ha, bittersweet

This afterglow

It haunts me so

Is bittersweet

There are so many smiles and tears

Here among my souvenirs

Of lovin' you

Sad but true

Bittersweet

Ah, bittersweet, hah

Bittersweet

I’m remembering

How my heart would sing

Each time we’d meet

The thrill it was to be with you

Sad that everything that we would say and do

Are fragments of

A faded love

That’s bittersweet

Sad that it’s bittersweet

Ah-ha, bittersweet

Oh, ah-ha-ha-ha, bittersweet
