Sweet Sweets Songtext
von P:ano

I laze about the house all day eating sweet sweets
And dream of a day when a thousand bouquets are at my feet
Well this one′s for the one I love
Though he knows not that fact so well
It could be true to say he can't really tell
I may as well be terminally ill
Or sitting at the bottom of a well

Well, what I′d give for a storm now
Or to be off waltzing the town with my love round my arm
Or to be back on the farm where Georgie
Roams free and the pasture's so green
Oh, what a scene


And speaking of scenes, have you ever seen such a lovely pair?
His smile so bright, his eyes all alight with life
It makes me think all the guilt and shame
That follow me round from day to day
Has less to do with his poor Marmalade's than he

He may be a pastor′s son for all I know
Or he may be leaving town on a train tomorrow
And that′s why the old heart stops a little
Whenever I hear a train whistle blow
And it happens every day at noon and four
And if I live on this way it'll be the death of me for sure

Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum

Well enough′s enough, I'm gonna don
A gown and follow him home from work
And from here on out, oh the light′ll be right
And clouds will roll in, thunder will crack, the moon will rise
And I will sing "I only have eyes for you, dear"
