Sweet And Lovely
Mitchell Ayres & His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sweeter than the roses in May
Sweet and lovely
Heaven must have sent him my way
Skies above me
Never were as blue as his eyes
And he loves me
When he nestles in my arms so tenderly
There's a thrill that words cannot express
In my heart a song of love is taunting me
Melody haunting me
Sweet and lovely
Sweeter than the roses in May
And he loves me
There is nothing more I can say
When he nestles in my arms so tenderly
There's a thrill that words cannot express
In my heart a song of love is taunting me
Melody haunting me
Sweet and lovely
Sweeter than the roses in May
And he loves me
There is nothing more I can say
There is nothing more I can say
There is nothing more I can say
There is nothing more I can say
There is nothing more I can say
The lyrics to Mitchell Ayres and His Orchestra's song "Sweet and Lovely" depict the singer's profound amazement and gratitude towards her lover. The opening line describes the lover as not just sweet, but also lovely, sweet enough to surpass the sweetest of roses in the month of May. The singer goes on to say that her lover was possibly sent to her from heaven because he is the sweetest and loveliest thing in her life. The next stanza talks about the lover's beautiful eyes, which are compared to the blue skies. The chorus repeats the opening lines and emphasizes the singer's feeling of being loved by her lover, which she sees as the sweetest surprise of all. The final part of the song refers to the feeling of profound happiness that the singer experiences when she holds her lover in her arms, a feeling that is "haunting" her and turning into a sweet melody.

Sweet and lovely
Someone who is dear and attractive
Sweeter than the roses in May
My sweet and lovely companion is even lovelier than the most beautiful blossoms of springtime
Sweet and lovely
Such a darling and captivating person
Heaven must have sent him my way
I feel lucky and blessed to have found someone so special
Skies above me
The blue sky that canopies me
Never were as blue as his eyes
The profound azure hue of his eyes is far more rich and captivating than the skies above me
And he loves me
He holds deep affection for me
Who would want a sweeter surprise?
Having someone who cherishes me so much is the greatest gift I could ever receive
When he nestles in my arms so tenderly
While he snuggles up to me so lovingly

Melody haunting me
This beautiful tune lingers on in my mind and heart
There is nothing more I can say
There are no words left to express how much I adore my sweet and lovely paramour
There is nothing more I can say
My heart echoes with the same feeling that there is no more to add
There is nothing more I can say
There is nothing more to express how deeply I care for this person
There is nothing more I can say
No words can define how much I love and cherish my sweet and lovely companion
