Sweets For My Sweet
The Drifters
Words and Music by Doc Pomus (who backs on piano) and Mort Shuman

Peaked at # 16 in 1961


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

	<CHORUS>
	'cause I would 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

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

	<CHORUS>

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

	<CHORUS>

<Instrumental to end>


TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE:  Lead singer Charlie Thomas commits a grammatical error. Based on 
the use of subjunctive mood in the foregoing and the following, he should sing "I'D"  but he sings 
"I'll" instead.
