Description:
Instrument: Acoustic guitar. Male Vocal
Works in different eras. A medium tempo celebration of a man’s once upon a time affair and now his regret over his loss. You can hear the Mills Brothers doing a song like this.
Lyrics:
Sugarmouth, candy lips, from your sweet tongue honey drips.
How I miss that long, long, kiss when we say goodnight.
Satin Skin, velvet thighs, ooh the love light in your eyes.
Can’t you see, memory, has got me in a melancholy mood.
A million times I wonder how we came to say goodbye
I just can’t seem to understand the reason why.
Nights so lonely I could cry, nights so lonely I could cry.
Thinking of you, thinking of me, thinking of you, thinking of me.
Trembling to your midnight touch, oh I love you so damn much.
Can’t you see memory has got me in this melancholy mood.
A million times I wonder how we came to say goodbye
And I just can’t seem to understand the reason why.
Nights so lonely I could cry, nights so lonely I could cry.
Thinking of you, thinking of me, thinking of you, thinking of me.
Sugarmouth, candy lips, from your sweet tongue honey drips.
Can’t you see, memory has got me in a melancholy mood.
Got me in a melancholy mood. I miss your sugarmouth. Candy lips.
