[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 stardust in your eye
Darlin', I would chase that bright star nightly
And try to steal it from the sky
[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
'Til 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 send 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]
(La, la-la, la-la, la-la)
(La, la-la, la-la, la-la)
(La, la-la, la-la, la-la)
(La, la-la, la-la, la-la)
