You're the Sweetest Thing Lyrics


In all this big wide happy world
You're the sweetest thing
It's you who makes the flowers bloom
The happy robins sing.I'm so happy when you're near me
So blue when you're away
When I see your sunny smile
My night time turns to day.Glad to know you'll be around
No matter come what may
To share my laughter and my love
And drive the blues away.--- Instrumental ---
In all this world I've never seen
A sweeter thing than you
There's a bit of God's own heaven
In every thing you doDarling, how I'd miss you
If God took you away
But if he should I know that
You'd still be in my heart to stayYou've turned the gray skies into blue
Taught this happy heart to sing

I love you very, very much
For you're the sweetest thing.--- Instrumental ---Darling, how I'd miss you
If God took you away
But if he should I know that
You'd still be in my heart to stay
You've turned the gray skies into blue
Taught this happy heart to sing
I love you very, very much
For you're the sweetest thing.

Jim Reeves (1923 - 1964), known affectionately as 'Gentleman Jim', was a country singer known for his velvety voice. Through his unique style, which fused the laidback style of crooners such as Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby with country material, he brought country music to a whole new audience. He was also one of the first to bring country music to places outside of America, gaining widespread popularity in Britain, Europe, South Africa and India.

His prolific career was cut tragically short in 1964 by a plane crash. However, even after his death, his popularity did not wane and he continued to have hits some years after his death, with previously unreleased songs and remastered earlier material.

Added 01: One interesting fact was that he recorded an album in Afrikaans for Afrikaners in South Africa. How do I know? I bought the LP many years ago.
