Roses are red, my love Violets are blue Sugar is sweet, my love, But not as sweet as you
an early 60's popular song about a guy meeting an old girlfriend and her little girl, and what he had written in the girlfriend's book on graduation day
Now and then when I see her face She takes me away to that special place And if I stare too long I'd probably break down and cry ohhh, Sweet child o' mine oh oh oh oh, Sweet love of mine
It's 6PM, supper time in South Bend And you figure what the hell You can eat in your hotel So you order up room service on the phone And you watch the local news and eat alone You've gotta take what little pleasures you can find When you've got sweet Kentucky ham on your mind
Soft lights and sweet music And you in my arms Soft lights and sweet melody Will bring you closer to me Chopin and pale moonlight Reveal all your charms So give me velvet lights And sweet music And you in my arms

With the birds I'll share
This lonely view...

Just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy
With another brand new choo-choo toy
When I'm with my sweet Lorraine

Some dance to remember. Some dance to forget.

And start my live anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

I'd probably break down and cry

It's 6PM, supper time in South Bend
And you figure what the hell
You can eat in your hotel
So you order up room service on the phone
And you watch the local news and eat alone
You've gotta take what little pleasures you can find
When you've got sweet Kentucky ham on your mind
(Dave Frishberg)

Soft lights and sweet music
And you in my arms
Soft lights and sweet melody
Will bring you closer to me

Reveal all your charms
So give me velvet lights
And sweet music
And you in my arms

At last I've found you

Mmm my lord

Forget my sweetness
Just sign
Forget you met me

Forget my sweetness
Just sign
Forget you met me
"Sign," from Annie
Sweeter than wine
Sweeter than a summer's night
Everything I wanted whenever I hold you tight
