Sugar Is Sweet
Grandpa Elliott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Honey is awfully sweet and so is your lips.
Your lips is so dog-gone sweet to me baby I'm afraid if you kiss the ocean it would turn to lemonade.
Summer day is bright and clear
so is my darkest night when you are near.
If that sun or the moon above burn out for a while you can light up the world with the brightness of your smile.
I'm a poor man I guess that's clear.
If I had a million dollars girl I'll tell you what I'd do I would trade it all to spend one night with you.
Stars at night light up the sky,
but they don't have the match that shine in your beautiful eyes.
You see I need to have you with me now more than flowers need the rain. You are more to me then the blood running in my veins.
I'm a poor man I guess you see that clear.
Guess I'll never get to be a millionaire. If I had a million dollars girl I'll tell you what I'd do I'd trade it all to spend one night with you.
The stars at night they light up the sky,
but they don't have the match girl that shine in your eyes.
I need to have you with me girl more than flowers need the rain. You are more to me than the blood running in my veins. You are more to me than the blood running in my veins. You are more to me than the blood running in my veins.

Ông ấy la một thiên tài âm nhạc
