Sweets for My Sweet Songtext
von Eli Gumble

Yeah, I am off to places, foreign lands that I have never seen before
And I don′t know what will lie in store
I'd like to see the sights and sample all the local cuisines
That I have read about in magazines
At night I′ll watch the stars that artists and philosophers admired
And hope that I will be, like them, inspired
And I will browse the shops along the beach for pretty souvenirs
That I'll be bringing back to you, my dear

'Cause I′ll be missing from your days and I′ll be missing you
And it pains me just to leave your comfort zone
But if I ever lost you, oh, my world would split in two
So I'm bringing sweets for my sweet and honey for my honey when I come back home


I hear that there′s a festival of lights and colours, so divine
And I'll take lots of photos and post them online
Every day, the people in the streets will smile and wave and clap their hands
Accompanied by tunes from traditional bands
And every night, they gather round and dance in the centre of the town
As the colourful carnival kings and queens are crowned
And when I′m home, I'll teach you all the moves and we can pretend you were there
We′ll be rubbish but we'll have fun beyond compare

'Cause I′ll be missing from your days and I′ll be missing you
And it pains me just to leave your comfort zone
But if I ever lost you, oh, my world would split in two
So I'm bringing sweets for my sweet and honey for my honey when I come back home

Don′t miss me too much, just try aiming your love eastward
If you get lonely it's alright
We′ll still be in touch, Facebook messages and tweets would be lovely
And you can phone me every night

You don't need anyone′s permission 'cause I'll be missing

I′ll be missing from your days and I′ll be missing you
And it pains me just to leave your comfort zone
But if I ever lost you, oh, my world would split in two
So I'm bringing sweets for my sweet and honey for my honey when I come back home

I′m bringing sugar for my sugar, baby dolls for my baby doll, apples for the apple of my eye
I'm bringing sweets for my sweet and honey for my honey, aren′t I?
