Sweet Thing
Keith Urban

When I picked you up for our first date baby
Well, your pretty blue eyes, they were drivin' me crazy
And the tiny little thought that was so amazing
Is they were lookin' at me

I held open the car door for you then you climbed
Inside and slid on over
To the other side... I thought my, oh my...

Sweet thing
The moon is high and the night is young
Come on and meet me
In the backyard under the Cottonwood tree
It's a good thing and I'm wishin'
C'mon sweet thing
Won't you climb on out of your window
While the world is sleepin'
Cause you know I need you
And there's no way I'll be leavin'
Til we're kissing on the porch swing
Oh my little sweet thing

Yeah I know I'm gonna see you first thing tomorrow
But I just couldn't wait so I had to borrow
Uncle Jake's Mustang, its his favorite car
And so I can't stay long...

Standin' here feeling like a love struck Romeo
All I wanna do is hold you close and steal a little more time
Is that such a crime?

Sweet thing
The moon is high and the night is young
Come on and meet me
In the backyard under the Cottonwood tree
It's a good thing and I'm wishin'
C'mon sweet thing
Won't you climb on out of your window
While the world is sleepin'
Cause you know I need you
And there's no way I'll be leavin'
Til we're kissing on the porch swing
Oh my little sweet thing

Sweet thing, sweet thing...

Oh my sweet thing
The moon is high and the night is young
Come on and meet me
In the backyard under the Cottonwood tree
It's a good thing and tell me I'm not dreamin'
C'mon sweet thing
Won't you climb on out of your window
While the world is sleepin'
Cause you know I need you
And there's no way I'll be leavin'
Til we're kissing on the porch swing
Oh my little sweet thing

Oh c'mon sweet thing, sweet thing, sweet thing...

Yeah, c'mon now a little now...
Oh my little sweet thing, yes you are

This is an old song, a song that I have lots of memories about. Well, time is running, life is short, I'm not here to talk about the past today. I'm here to talk about another aspect of this song, love.

Love is like a wave. It hits you when you least expect it to. It seems mild while in the open sea, yet contain a force so strong, so thorough that nothing can stop. I am trying to rationalize this feeling into proper words but I can't. Nothing can describe what runs through my mind. Natalie Yang, you are a sweet thing, a sweet sweet thing. Though I'm not terribly fond of sugary food, your very presence sweetens my soul.

Suddenly, I can understand this song and feel the joy behind it. Cool!
