Roberta Flack - Sweet Bitter Love

Lyrics

Sweet, sweet bitter love

The taste still lingers

Go through my helpless fingers

You slipped away

Sweet, sweet bitter love

What joy you brought me

And what pain you taught me

I'm so sure I'll stay

And my magic dreams

Have lost their spell

Where there was hope

There's just an empty shell

Sweet, sweet bitter love

Why have you awakened

And then forsakened

A trusting heart like mine?

My magic dreams

Have lost their spell

And where there was hope

There's just an empty shell

Sweet, sweet bitter love

What joy, what joy you brought me

And what pain you taught me

I'm so sure to stay

Sweet bitter love

Why, why have you awakened

And then forsakened

A trusting heart, a trusting heart like mine?
