[Chrous]
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled 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
Darling, I would chase that bright star nightly
And try to steal it from the sky
And I would bring
[Chrous]
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go
[Verse 2]
If you wanted a dream to keep you smilin'
I'd tell the sandman "You were blue"
And I'd ask him to keep that sand a-pilin'
Until your dreams had all come true
And I would bring
[Chrous]
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go
[Verse 3]
And if you wanted a love to last forever
Darlin', I would send my love your way
And my love'd not only last forever
But forever and a day
And I would bring
[Chrous]
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go
