Sweets for My Sweet Lyrics

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills 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 star dust in your eyes
Darlin', I would chase that bright star nightly
And try to steal it from the skies

'Cause I would give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

And if you needed a dream to keep you smiling
I'll tell the sandman you were blue
And I'd ask him to keep that sand a-piling
'Till your dreams would come true

'Cause I would give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your tasty 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 would only last forever
But forever and a day

'Cause I would give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

This Magic Moment

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills 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 star dust in your eyes
Darlin', I would chase that bright star nightly
And try to steal it from the skies

'Cause I would give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

And if you needed a dream to keep you smiling
I'll tell the sandman you were blue
And I'd ask him to keep that sand a-piling
'Till your dreams would come true

'Cause I would give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your tasty 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 would only last forever
But forever and a day

'Cause I would give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
