How Sweet It Is
The Blues Busters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I would sit and say
That I'll never
Fall in love again
Now I know (Darling now I know)
Yes I know
How sweet it is
Since I found you
My whole life has changed
And I'm so happy
To love you more each day
Yes I know (Darling yes I know)
Yes I know
How sweet it is
To be in love
Let me tell you people
What I have to say
Go find your true love
And say the same someday
Say that you know (Darling that you know)
That's how I know
How sweet it is
To be in love
The Blues Busters's song "How Sweet It Is" expresses a message of hope and the possibility of love after heartbreak. The opening verse sets the tone of the song, with the singer acknowledging their past pain and aversion to love. However, the chorus, "How sweet it is to be in love," represents the change that has occurred since finding the person they are currently with. The lyrics convey a sense of wonder and gratitude for the newfound love, with the repetition of "Yes I know" indicating certainty and confidence in the love that they have found.
The singer also shares a message of encouragement for others, urging them to "go find your true love and say the same someday." The song suggests that love can be found by all, even those who have experienced heartbreak, and that the joy of being in love is worth pursuing. The use of the word "Darling" throughout the song adds a personal touch and enhances the vulnerability of the singer's emotions.

There was a time
I used to think differently
When I would sit and say
I used to talk about what I believed
That I'll never
That I would never
Fall in love again
Experience love again after a bad breakup
Now I know (Darling now I know)
But I realized now
Yes I know
I am aware now
How sweet it is
How good it feels
To be in love
To have someone to love
Since I found you
Since I met you
My whole life has changed
Everything in my life is different now
And I'm so happy
I feel joy and contentment
To love you more each day
My love for you grows every day
Let me tell you people
Listen to me, everyone
What I have to say
This is what I want to share
Go find your true love
Look for someone who truly loves you
And say the same someday
Tell them how good it feels to love them
Say that you know (Darling that you know)
Let them know that you understand
That's how I know
That's how I came to this realization
How sweet it is
How good it feels
To be in love
To have someone to love

GREAT SONG. In Belgium 'You are the one' and 'I won't let you go' are well known among popcorn fans.

TheFunkyKingston
Thanks for your so nice words MDH...I thank also the Blues Busters, and yes one of the best compilations from Trojan records! Stay well!
MDH
TheFunkyKingston Sorry for the late reply. I'm a fan of the Blues Brothers as well, namely, amongst many other artists. It is one hell of a compilation that imo is in a class of its own. Hope you are well too!

This is proof positive that they learned a whole lot from Sam Cooke. Small wonder they were picked to back him while he toured Jamaica. This is high quality soul music from the island.
TheFunkyKingston
It could be easily stated that rocksteady/ska/early reggae is the soul of music of Jamaica...Without no doubt! Jamaican artists have recorded and covered from Neil Diamond to Beatles...Big hugs to Jamaican musical heritage Donald!!

The 15 idiots who disliked this classic dont know how sweet love truly is. Beautiful memories of my mom and dad dancing to this Jamacian classic. I still have the original album. Thanks so much for uploading.

Glad it recalled so great memories! Bless you!
