[Lyric] Sweet Bitter Love 1985 (Aretha Franklin)

[Intro]
I talk to you today
We've loved each other for so long
In that special way
And if circumstances should keep us apart
I just want you to know
That you will remain forever here in my heart

[Verse 1]
Sweet, sweet bitter love
The taste still lingers
Go through my helpless fingers
You slipped away
Ooh, yes you did

[Verse 2]
Sweet, sweet bitter love
What joy you taught me
What pain you didn't mean to but you brought me
So short
Baby, so short of a stay
[Chorus]
Our magic dreams have lost their spells
And where there, where there was hope
There's an em-- an empty shell

[Verse 3]
Oh, sweet, my my my my my bitter love
Why have you awaken
And then you forsaken
A trusting heart like mine

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, my magic dreams, oh my magic dreams have lost their spells
And where there, where there was hope
There's an empty shell

[Verse 4]
Oh sweet, my my my, my my my bitter love
Why have you awaken
And then, and then, and then, and then, you have forsaken
A trusting heart, yeah yeah yeah
A trusting heart like mine
I love you boy, yes I do
A trusting heart like mine
