lyrics

We were in the waiting room of purgatory,
waiting to find our place.
You said you'd been waiting for me.
I felt your warm lips on my face.

It ain't half as sweet as living is.
It ain't half as sweet as anything.
It ain't half as sweet as living is.
It ain't half as sweet as anything at all.

I had hoped you'd put in a good word for me.
You hadn't said a thing.
I had hoped you'd liked to have heard from me.
You didn't want to hear anything, anything but your voice.

Well, it ain't half as sweet as living is.
It ain't half as sweet as anything.
It ain't half as sweet as living is.
It ain't half as sweet as anything at all.
It ain't half as sweet as living is.
It ain't half as sweet as living.
It ain't half as sweet as living is.
It ain't half as sweet.
