Sugar Sweet She Shone.

 

Sugar sweet she shone like a sun-kissed blonde
I kissed her twice and then she was gone
Fair-tale, fairy-tale tell me it\'s true
This story was written and everyone knew

When I watch candle flames flicker over her face
Guessing intent when my love was put in my place
There we sat in front of the hot open fire
I saw her shadow reflect upon my desire

Her love looks lazy on a cold Sunday morning
Icicles play a sad melody as they are melting 
So I picked up the guitar and strummed away
On her heartstrings, she heard I couldn\'t play

So I bought a big boat called \'Love Me Tender\'
Which she did but I thought she wouldn\'t remember
When she took off her dress I was in such a mess
But then she took me down below for a test

With the good old Johnny Walker whiskey running high
She rubbed half the world up against her thigh
But her wicked ways with other toffs and rich men
I\'ll lock her out, I\'ll lock her in but I don\'t know when

Started travelling around this big wide world
And lucky enough to find me another girl
She played the banjo and I played Shakespeare
The stage was set when she said kiss me my dear

The curtains pulled and we stood there both unaware
Of all the beauty, the glowing, and the audience to be fair
We read our love sonnets like we were Romeo and Juliet
It felt like a miracle of love but I wouldn\'t put a bet on it

Surprising loves quality has been altered slightly enough
When two lovers take hold of their hearts, it\'s tough stuff
To pull in close, real close, so close you can\'t let go
Just like my pen if you\'d prefer to know.
