A suggestion, not so much about this particular song.

You have a characteristic habit of landing hard on the beat here and there in your songs.
In this song, to my ear, it sounded like you landed too hard on the first "sweet." Specifically the long e. It sounded like you MAY have gone slightly flat also. To my ear, your melody drops out of the smooth and lovely lane when you do this.

The net-of-it...if you pulled back on some of those landings (softened them) , I think that your vocal melodies would flow a little more smoothly.

DISCLAIMER: I have no credentials that qualify me to give such advice. I just do it anyways. smile

Thanks for those kind words, Marty, and for the suggestion. I'm not quite sure that I understand what you mean by landing too hard. Can you explain?
