Description:
Instruments: Electric and acoustic guitars. Accordion. B.G. vocals on chorus. (Please note that there is an identical voice and acoustic guitar version.)

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.
