Sweets For My Sweet


Sweets For My Sweet
((French Version: Ma Biche (by Frank Alamo) - 1963))
Composer(s): Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman
First release by: The Drifters - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists



If you wanted a star that shines so brightly
To match the stardust in your eyes
Darling, I would chase that bright star nightly
And try to steal it from the skies

Cuz I'd give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your perfect kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

If you needed a dream to keep you smiling
I'd tell the sandman you were blue
And I'd ask him to keep that sand piling
Until your dreams would all come true

Cuz I'd give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your perfect kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

If you wanted a love to last forever
Then I would send my love your way
And my love won't only last forever
But forever and a day

Cuz I'd give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your perfect kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

Cuz I'd give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your perfect kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

Young Guns


Young Guns
Composer(s): UB40
Performer(s): UB40; Alpha Blondy



Hey hot shot
Your'e a one man band
The Don on the block
With a glock in your hand
With a girl and a ride
You don't wanna hear
Think you're getting respect
All you find is fear

The one damn thing
you sure to find
Is another gun
Where you're gonna hide
Said you'd never never run
I guess you lied
You're the fool in the crew that died
You're mother cried

Hold your fire, cool your temper, young guns never too bold
Hold your fire, just remember, young guns never grow old

The one damn thing
you sure to find
Is a bigger gun
To blow away your pride
You're young blood running in the roadside
And in the crossfire, innocents died
We all cried

Hold your fire ...

Sweetness


Sweetness
Composer(s): Jon Anderson - Clive Bailey - Chris Squire
Performer(s): Yes



She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon
She puts the sweetness in and stirs it with a spoon
She watches for my moods and never brings me down
She puts the sweetness in all around
She knows just what to say to make me feel so good inside
And when I'm all alone I feel I don't want to hide
Today she bought me in and told me where she'd been
She put my mind at rest and put the sweetness in
I'll ask her for some time to go and look around
She puts the sweetness in all around
She knows just what to say to make a sunny day
And when I'm all alone I really don't feel that way
Tell me how would you feel with no world of your own
And nobody to hold, I just can't see the way
I'm so glad it's today and you're here, you're here
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo

She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon
She puts the sweetness in and stirs it with a spoon
She watches for all my moods never brings me down
She puts the sweetness in all around
She knows just what to say to make a sunny day
And when I'm all alone I really don't feel that way
Oh how I need her so, I know she'll never ever go
Do do do do do do
She'll never leave me, believe me - no
Do do do do do do
She'll never go, no no
No no no no no no no no no - no!

Young Girl Sunday Blues


Young Girl Sunday Blues
Composer(s): Marty Balin; Paul Kantner
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane



In my heart I have a feeling and I don't know what I'm gonna do
Oh, what a beautiful world, the world, what should I do?
What should I do?
Don't you know what I have found?
Maybe you've found it too
Today is made up of yesterday and tomorrow
Young girl Sunday blues and all her sorrow

One side of me is filled with brightness, no matter what I might say
The days are made with waterfall colors, couldn't I make you stay?
If rain slides the sides of my face must be a rainy day
But I get lost in yesterday and tomorrow, tomorrow
Young girl Sunday blues and all her sorrow

I walk beside you laughing and I'm high, don't try to touch me with words
When I tell you I dream it might seem like silence, but so much can be heard
I think of things, what loving you brings, maybe my thing is her
Today is made of yesterday and tomorrow
Young girl Sunday blues, and all her sorrow

Ah! come into my mind, let yourself wander free and easy
Ah! come into my life, Sunday blues girl, young and new girl
You're the only true girl here can please me
I said, "Please me, yeah! Please me! Please me! Please me!"

Sweetie, Sweetie


Sweetie, Sweetie
Composer(s): Bart
Performer(s): Edmundo Ros



You have got me running around
Like a bee without a hive
I’ve got two feet on the ground
And it’s great to be alive
But you turned me old and grey
Before my wedding day
Oh Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty
And don’t you run away

Hear me calling to you, Sweetie, Sweetie
Yes, Sweetie, Sweetie
Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty
And don’t you run away

I’m calling Sweetie, Sweetie
My Sweetie, Sweetie
Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty
And don’t you run away

Now tell me, what’s a fellow to do
When a gal don’t want to know
I try everything new
But I guess I must be slow
‘Cos the only game you play
Is keeping me at bay
Oh Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty
And don’t you run away

Hear me calling to you, Sweetie, Sweetie
My, Sweetie, Sweetie
Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty
And don’t you run away

Come on Darling, Sweetie, Sweetie
Tell me, Sweetie, Sweetie
My Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty
And don’t you run away

Young Girl


Young Girl
Composer(s): Dee Clark; Jerry Fuller
Performer(s): Gary Puckett & The Union Gap



Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl
With all the charms of a woman
You've kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe
You're old enough
To give me Love
And now it hurts to know the truth
Oh
Beneath your perfume and make-up
You're just a baby in disguise
And though you know
That it is wrong to be
Alone with me
That come on look is in your eyes
Oh
So hurry home to your mama
I'm sure she wonders where you are
Get out of here
Before I have the time
To change my mind
'Cause I'm afraid we'll go too far
Oh
Young girl

Young dreams of love, young dreams of love

Sweetie O'mine


Sweetie O'mine
Composer(s): Haven Gillespie - Egbert Van Alstyne



Dearie, hear the joyful bells aringing gay
While the news is spreading of our wedding day
Cupid's in the aisle dressed in his Sunday smile
Awaiting there to guide us on our way

Since my sweetie named the day and everything
I've been saving up my pay to buy the ring
All the folks I see are wishing they were me
They say I'm as lucky as can be

The choir is singing, just for that Sweetie o' mine
The chimes are ringing for me and Sweetie o' mine
And to a cozy bungalow
Where pretty roses grow I'll soon be bringing, that Sweetie o' mine
Since dear old school days she's been a Sweetie o' mine
Since golden rule days, I've loved her all of the time
And you can tell the world for me, she's always going to be
The same old sweetheart, that Sweetie o' mine

Every time I kiss somebody new I
Make believe I'm kissing you but oh
I can't kid my aching heart 'cos

Sweethearts In The Spring


Sweethearts In The Spring
Performer(s): Foster & Allen



It was on a summer's evening when all the world was still
Two lovers rambled down the lane to an old and wooden mill
He was leaving on the 'morrow for lands far far away
And as she nestles close to him she heard him softly say

I'll return my little sweetheart, in the Spring
And for us those wedding bells will gai-aily ring
And when all the wrongs are righted
Our hearts will be united
I'll return my little sweetheart, i-in the Spring

On the quay there stands a soldier in uniform so bright
He's waiting for a big troop ship to take him to the fight
The bugles they are blowing and the master climbed it high
And as the cable settled down from below there comes a sight

I'll return my little sweetheart, in the Spring
And for us those wedding bells will gai-aily ring
And when all the wrongs are righted
Our hearts will be united
I'll return my little sweetheart, i-in the Spring

In a cottage by a fireside sits a maiden young and fair
And as the tears roll down her cheeks, her letter she put there
And as she read it o'er and o'er it was more than she could bear
But ever' morning dawned for her she was gone for all was fair

So they laid in her in the graveyard in the Spring
And for her those wedding bells will never ring
For among the dead and dying her soldier boy was lying
When they laid her in the graveyard i-in the Spring

I'll return my little sweetheart in the Spring
And for us those wedding bells will gai-aily ring
And when all the wrongs are righted
Our hearts will be ...

Young Blood


Young Blood
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Doc Pomus; Mike Stoller
Performer(s): The Beatles;
and various other artists



I saw her standing on the corner
a yellow ribbon in her hair
I couldn't stop myself from calling
look a-there, look a-there
look a-there, look a-there
Young Blood, Young Blood, Young Blood
I can't get you out of my mind

I took one look and I was fractured
I tried to walk but I was lame
I tried to talk but I just stuttered:
well what's your name, what's your name
well what's your name, what's your name
Young Blood, Young Blood, Young Blood
I can't get you out of my mind

A crazy stop, she was the top
I tried to follow her all the way home
Things went bad, I met her dad
he said: you'd better leave my daughter alone

Well I tried to (...)
I saw the rising of the sun
and all along my heart was falling
while you're the one, you're the one
while you're the one, you're the one
Young Blood, Young Blood, Young Blood
I can't get you out of my mind

A crazy stop, she was the top
I tried to follow her all the way home
Things went bad, I met her dad
he said: you'd better leave my daughter alone

Well I tried to (...)
I saw the rising of the sun
and all along my heart was falling
while you're the one, while you're the one
while you're the one, while you're the one
Young Blood, Young Blood, Young Blood
I can't get you out of my mind
Young Blood, Young Blood, Young Blood
I can't get you out of my mind

Sweetheart Waltz


Sweetheart Waltz
Composer(s): Jack Caddigan - Chick Story



Dearie now tell me, why do you sigh
Why do you let all the Sunshine pass bye
Life's all too short for a worry or care
When melody fills the air
Let us

Back of the shadows, there lies the sun
Waiting the dawning when night-time is done
Don't hide the Sun with a sorrowful sigh
Let all your clouds pass you by
Let us

Dance a good old sweet-heart waltz
In a good old fashioned way
Let us glide along while life's a song
And there's Moonlight on the bay
Let us sing a song of brighter days
And forget each other's faults
There are miles and miles of Sunny Smiles
When dancing a sweet-heart waltz

Young At Heart


Young At Heart
Composer(s): Carolyn Leigh; Johnny Richards
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists



Fairy tales can come true
It can happen to you if you're young at heart (young at heart)
For it's hard, you will find
To be narrow of mind if you're young at heart (young at heart)

You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on the way

Don't you know that it's worth
Every treasure on earth to be young at heart (young at heart)
For as rich as you are
It's much better by far to be young at heart (young at heart)

And if you should survive to a hundred and five
Look at all you'll derive out of bein' alive
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

(Don't you know that it's worth)
(Every treasure on earth to be young at heart)
(For as rich as you are)
(It's much better by far to be young at heart)

And if you should survive to a hundred and five
Look at all you'll derive out of bein' alive
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

Young And Warm And Wonderful


Young And Warm And Wonderful
Composer(s): Louis C. Singer; Hy Zaret
Performer(s): Tony Bennett;
Claudio Casanova; Peter Nero; Roger Williams



Everywhere that beauty glows you are
Everywhere an orchid grows you are
Everything that's young and gay, brighter than a holiday
Everywhere the angels play you are

You're like Paris in April and May
You're New York on a silvery day
A Swiss Alp as the sun grows fainter
You're Loch Lomond when autumn is the painter
You're Moonlight on a night in Capri
And Cape Cod looking out at the sea
You're all places that leave me breathless
And no wonder: you're all the world to me

You're Lake Como when dawn is aglow
You're Sun Valley right after a snow
A museum, a Persian palace
You're my shining Aurora Borealis
You're like Christmas at home by a tree
The blue calm of a tropical sea
You're all places that leave me breathless
And no wonder: you're all the world to me

Sweetheart Time


Sweetheart Time
Composer(s): Harold Robe - Milbury H. Ryder



Night time in June, right time to spoon, man in the moon
looking down from above, breezes are light, stars shining bright
fireflies are flashing their wireless above roses in bloom
spreading perfume bluebells are ringing their wedding ring chime
crickets and whippoor wills calling their trills, they all know it's sweetheart time

Now just we two, swear to be true, man in the moon dear, is laughing aloud
old mister moon, please let us spoon, can't you find business behind some dark cloud
winds softly sigh, while nightbirds cry nature is drowsy and everything is fine
now, dear, it's not a miss to steal a kiss, they all do in sweetheart time

It's sweetheart time, just good old sweetheart time
so, honey, under pale moon beams, we'll plan love's sweetest dreams
hug, squeeze, cupid decrees, in sweetheart time, I'll have you all for mine
we'll find a dear little cozy nest, in that bright rosy best, sweetheart time

Young And Foolish


Young And Foolish
Composer(s): Albert Hague; Arnold B. Horwitt
Performer(s): David Daniels & Gloria Marlowe;
and various other artists



Young and foolish, why is it wrong to be
Young and foolish, we haven’t long to be
Soon enough the carefree days, the sunlit days go by
Soon enough, the bluebird has to fly

We were foolish, one day we fell in love
Now we wonder what we were dreaming of
Smiling in the sunlight, laughing in the rain
I wish that we were young and foolish again

We were foolish, one day we fell in love
Now we wonder what we were dreaming of
Smiling in the sunlight, laughing in the rain
I wish that we were young and foolish again

Sweetheart May


Sweetheart May
(Traditional)



Long ago an angel I knew, if ever a one was seen
She was a bonnie sweet child of eight, and I was just eighteen
And every night she'd sit on my knee, her arms round my neck and say
I love you, I love you, and when I grow big, now promise to marry your May

Sweetheart May, when you grow up one day
You may marry another and my love betray
But I'll wait for you, and then we shall see
What you will do when I ask you to marry me

I went one day to countries away, to lands over sea to tread
Trials and troubles of life I met, as years lay on my head
But every night I'd think of that child, her smile and her young love-sigh
I longed just to see her grown up sweet eighteen, my May of the days gone by

I came back again, and I found her at last to a beautiful woman grown
I asked her to think of those old happy days, but the memory was mine alone
I stood there before her, I sang the old song, she couldn't recall it
I begged her to try
She said, I forget you; besides we must part, to-morrow I'm going to be married; good-bye

You're so young and beautiful and I love you so
Your lips so red, your eyes that shine
Shame the stars that glow
So fill these lonely arms of mine
And kiss me tenderly
Then you'll be forever young
And beautiful to me

You're so young and beautiful, you're everything I love
Your angel smile, your gentle touch
Are all I'm dreaming of
Oh take this heart I offer you
And never set me free
Then you'll be forever young
And beautiful to me
