SWEET PAIN

Sweet Pain

words and music by Dean Batstone

One single smile, and then left all alone

Don’t let it happen again, I won’t

Each dull mile, each tarnished vision, each pain

Now shine in your eyes, I’m faint

And if I miss a beat, skip a beat

Fall out of time, or fall out of line

Will you catch me somehow

Come to me now, sweet pain

Come to me now, sweet, sweet pain

And if I never hold you again

I’ll know this sweet, sweet, sweet pain

Levi blues, love I you, three good words

But are there any really good hurts

Each look away, each small fire, each long day

Will we ever know their worth

And if I miss a smile, skip a smile

Go on trial or just go out of style

Will you love me somehow

…and if I never love you again…

Where’s that place where those young lovers go

Out under the streetlights, they don’t feel the cold

Or in some dim-lit café, where they sip tea all day

And just wait ‘til their daddy’s not home

While under the table they undress with their toes

And smile at each other like they’ve invented being alone

Take me there, take me there sweet baby, I’m yours
