Sweets For My Sweet
Searcher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

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

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

If you wanted a king to keep you smiling
I'd tell the sandman you were blue
And I'd ask him to keep that sand a-piling
Until your dreams had all come true
And I would bring

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

And if you wanted a love to last forever
Darling I would send my love your way
And my love'd not only last forever
But forever and a day
And I would bring

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so




Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

The first piece of rock I ever listened about 1964 when I was six years old. My aunt had just brought to our family Searchers' LP "Sweets For My Sweets" from Germany.

Ich habe die in den sechziger Jahren Live erlebt.
Das war damal ein ganz große Sache.
Die Searchers waren eine sehr gute Gruppe.
