How Sweet You Are

How Sweet You Are
music by Arthur Schwartz (left)
lyric by Frank Loesser (right)

Once I walked in darkness, through the gloom of night.
Then I found you beside me, close beside me.
Now I'm out of the drakness, my horizon is bright,
For I know so well, yes I know so well---

How sweet you are, how sweet you are, how dear your tenderly smiling face.
Through days all bitter and gray and grim,
Through nights when even the stars are dim,
How sweet to know my heart can glow from just the warmth of our first embrace.

The world's a lovelier world by far when I remember how sweet you are...
