Am                         G
I am getting ready for my lover
Em                         F
He is coming home to me tomorrow night
I am getting ready for no other
He is the sunshine, the moonlight of my life
He has never had to disappoint me
It was the sweetest thing,
the neatest thing in my life
I am getting ready for my lover
He is the sunshine, the moonlight in my life

Chorus:
     C             Am                F
It's only fair if you be there with me,
     G
and hold my hand
It's only fair if that you be there with me,
and understand
It's only fair if you really dare
to hold my hand
It's only fair that you be there with me,
remember

I remember sweetness in my childhood
It was the sweetest time,
the world was my understood
I remember sweetness in my mother
She did the best she could,
she always would for us
Don't you ever have to disappoint me

Chorus

The sweetest thing you are
The sweetest thing
