Lyrics

[Intro]
Sweets for my sweet
Sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet
Sugar for my honey
I'll never, ever let you go
[Verse 1]
If you wanted that star that shines so brightly
To match the star dust in your eyes
Darlin', I would chase that bright star nightly
And try to steal it from the skies
[Chorus]
'Cause I would give
Sweets for my sweet
Sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet
Sugar for my honey
I'll never, ever let you go
[Verse 2]
And if you needed a dream to keep you smiling
I'll tell the sandman you were blue
And I'll ask him to keep that sand a-piling
Till your dreams would come true
[Chorus]
'Cause I would give
Sweets for my sweet
Sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet
Sugar for my honey
I'll never, ever let you go
[Verse 3]
If you wanted a love to last forever
Then I would spin my love your way
And my love would only last forever
But forever and a day
[Chorus]
'Cause I would give
Sweets for my sweet
Sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet
Sugar for my honey
I'll never, ever let you go
[Outro]
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
