Newton, Juice - The Sweetest Thing (I've Ever Known) Lyrics






When I see you in the morning with the sleep still in your eyes,
I remember all the laughter and the tears we shared last night.
And as we lie here, just two shadows in the light before the dawn,
the sweetest thing I've ever known is loving you.

And I have never been afraid of losing now.
And I have never wanted love to be a chain.
I only know that when I'm with you, you're my sunshine, you're my rain.
The sweetest thing I've ever known is loving you.
The sweetest thing I've ever known is loving you.

Now, you and I, we're not children.
We have both been loved before.
We have given and we have taken many rides on troubled shores.
But all the heartaches and temptations only make me love you more.
The sweetest thing I've ever known is loving you.

And I have never been afraid of losing now.
And I have never wanted love to be a chain.
I only know that when I'm with you, you're my sunshine, you're my rain.
The sweetest thing I've ever known is loving you.
The sweetest thing I've ever known is loving you.

  1. S.... C....

    god damn this is the greatest song ever

  2. D.... H....

    Please come home and sing to us again, love you more than you know, Bless you!

  3. M.... C....

    Always thought this was Linda back in the day.

    Sorry, Juice!

  4. R.... B....

    One of the greatest love songs ever!!! She makes you feel it what emotion

  5. P.... Y....

    I saw her in concert in Portland years and years ago, what a fantastic experience. Was even better than I thought. She is a great guitar player also.

  6. G.... E....

    I karaoke'd this not long after a breakup over 20 years ago. It has played in my head lately, reminding me of a current, likely unrequited love.

  7. R.... A....

    One of the most unique voices of all time

  8. M.... M....

    I never wanted love to be a chain...

  9. S.... C....

    This is such a beautiful song. Get's you right in the feels every time.

  10. T.... M....

    Love this song!!

  11. M.... A....

    This song reminds me of the love I still hold for my late husband Andrew💔🙏🏻🥰

  12. W.... P....

    I never really got into country music until i heard this in 1985 girl i was seeing played this for me. 2 years later she died of cancer. She was 18. R.I.P

  13. S.... H....

    Rip mom. Sang this once. For you. It's not been done since. You asked years before. So while healing from broken femur. I gave you what you'd ask for

  14. K.... H....

    Her voice 🥰 I wish I could go back to the 80s.

  15. K.... S....

    Juice Newton does a great version. And my friend Kelly Cogan, known as Patsy Foster, sang this on her album Long Cold War. This bar version doesn't do it total justice (at all), but if you buy her CD, Long Cold War, you can hear it in a purer form. One of the best singers I have ever known and sadly she died young from addiction a few years ago. Kelly was so talented and the world is less without her. Sweetest Thing was my favorite cover of hers.Be patient through the first 10 seconds or so, till she starts singing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REEintyn_j0

  16. T.... ....

    Compared to today's "female" artists she is a goddess. She still kinda sucks when compared to her contemporaries.

  17. L.... H....

    I was just hitting my teens back then. God, would I love to have those days back, especially if I could do it knowing what I do now.

  18. L.... N....

    Christine Verdin brought me here!!!

  19. B.... V....

    I've always liked this original version and hated that "pop" remix.

  20. B.... T....

    Music used to have true passion.

  21. o.... ....

    When I See You In The Morning
    That Old Sleep Still In Your Eyes
    I Remember All The Laughter
    And The Tears We Shared Last Night 
    And As We Lie Here Just Two Shadows 
    In The Light Before The Dawn
    The Sweetest Thing I've Ever Known Is Loving You

    And I Have Never Been Afraid Of Losing
    And I Have Never Wanted Love To Be A Chain
    I Only Know That When I'm With 
    You You're My Sunshine, You're My Rain 
    The Sweetest Thing I've Ever Known Is Loving You

    Now You And I, We're Not Children 
    We Have Both Been Loved Before 
    We Have Given And We Have Taken 
    Many Rides On Troubled Shores 
    And All The Heartaches And Temptations 
    Only Make Me Love You More 
    The Sweetest Thing I've Ever Known Is Loving You

    This song is beautiful...I was actually looking for Lauryn Hills "Sweetest Thing," and this popped up but this was an absolute treat!

  29. m.... f....

    In 1982 i sang this song to my infant son as I fed him, we rocked in the rocker his dad bought when he was born.

    This is the song I could least do without... A masterpiece... Marry me today Juice! 😍👰

  40. D.... H....

    I love this song

  41. M.... c....

    These songs of years gone by will NEVER die These were songs of love and joy,,,and hurts,,,Today`s (so called) music is all about hate and revenge sex and drugs It`s sad to think that when the last "Baby Boomer" is gone from this earth the greatest music ever heard will go with him,,,The kids today do not have the rythum and soul to produce any good music,,,,therefore they will not endure the 90 yr life span of the baby boomers

  42. M.... ....

    This album also included Queen of hearts, from summer 1981. This song was released in late 1981-early 1982.

  43. M.... ....

    I had this album on 8 track(remember 8 track tapes?); they were still making them in the early 1980s.

  44. L.... f....

    “I only know that when Im with you— you’re my sunshine, you’re my raiiiiiiin”— damn. That hurts.

  45. R.... G....

    Beautiful love it 2019 💙❣❣❣❣💟❣❣❣❣💜

  46. M.... B....

    Beautiful! The song of similar title (Its the sweetest thing) written by Robert Ellis Orrall and Carlene Carter and sung by Carlene is awesome too.

  47. m.... h....

    OMG I cried my eyes out what a beautiful song and voice...I have never been afraid of losing...but I have lost

  48. G.... C....

    Remember the first night I was with the of my life Miss you so much Ronald J.

  49. B.... B....

  57. T.... J....

    ""I never wanted love to be a chain..'' How so very true in the deeper meaning.

  58. c.... n....

    This makes you wanna fall in love!

  59. m.... t....

    One of those voices you never, ever forget. A haunting voice that gets you from the first word. Juice Newton was at her absolute best in early 1980s; easily crossing over to Pop, while reigning on the country charts....

  60. V.... R....

    Her voice is lovely, but her hair style was a big mistake...she was too fine boned for the globs of hair on either side on her body.

    V.... R....

    Voracious Reader This woman had GORGEOUS hair! We should all be so lucky, to have hair like Juice Newton!😒💒

  61. i.... ....

    I grew up w/this on the radio...beautiful

  62. T.... B....

    We just don't hear voices like that anymore 😢

    T.... B....

    Troy Barger MAGA 2020

    T.... B....

    It's the style of music. Gaga sings beautiful but often does choppy vocal pop. I wish they'd go back to this style a bit more.

  63. L.... M....

    For the man I love 💜💕

  64. W.... I....

    Country gold

  65. k.... o....

    The song of my youth. sweet memories.

  66. M.... W....

  67. M.... M....

    That's when music was music

  68. M.... M....

    Love it, brings a chill lol really

  69. P.... M....

    My second marriage
    wedding song in 1988...We both lost our first love's.

  70. R.... R....

  78. c.... n....

    We love you juice newton! Thank you for the beautiful music of love,and the way only you can bring it!!

  79. V.... N....

    Beyond beautiful ,makes me cry every time !

  80. G.... R....

    Thank you for finding this country version. I have searched for this version on Apple Music, but it does not appear to be available. Only the pop version, and multiple "remastered" pop and country versions. This is the one I've been looking for!

  81. A.... N....

    Thank you so much for this version. I've been looking so long for it. The version I remember from my childhood.

  82. J.... V....

    one of the true beauties of country music.

  83. A.... ....

    Love this version the best! Not the later one which was kinda tepid.

  84. d.... w....

    10 people dont like this Really? you cant fix stupid

    d.... w....

    dave w I think that people likes to hear reggaeton or another shit
    This is real music

  85. J.... G....

    A singer who can really sing, rare these days.

    J.... G....

    There in church

    J.... G....

    Yes they are

    J.... G....

    There are many modern singers with great voices .the same as the past.

  86. T.... ....

    My favorite version. Dedicated to my dear Gregory. Rest in Peace, my heart x

  87. B.... W....

    My grandad played this song, and he told my mom and I that my grandmother sounded a lot like her... and she passed when my mom was really young.

  88. M.... F....

    The original recorded version of this great song was actually by Dottsy. Both women are great singers.

    M.... F....

    Juice was the first to record this song with her old band Silver Spur in 1975 (that version can be found on youtube if you wanna hear it). Dottsy recorded her version in 1976. This song was written about Juice by Otha Young, who was in SS as well.

  89. L.... B....

    For Mark

  90. D.... X....

    ... it also helped me get thru a very difficult time during ‘mourning’...’Morning’.

  91. D.... X....

    Thank you sooo much... during that time I was mourning several losses as a teenager the song will always be very special to me...Thank you again.🙂

  92. D.... W....

    Thanx, Rich, for the country version!

  93. S.... A....

    after 30 yrs this song still brings a year to my eyes

  94. J.... A....

    Beautiful song written by her boy friend years ago.

  95. T.... ....

    Love her voice and love to hear Juice Newton sing this song, one of my favorites. Thanks for uploading this.

  96. G.... C....
