Candy Lyrics

(Takashi Matsumoto & Shinji Harada, English lyric Ralph McCarthy)

Can't give you diamond rings

Candy, I love you... Close your sleepy eyes
I'll come to visit you in your dreams tonight
Nobody else will ever know
No one will see me come and go
Fill your bed with violets and moonbeams

Candy, I love you... Open up your heart
I'll show you how to make love to a work of art
Draw you up close in virgin blues
Colors Picasso never used
Every stroke will be a revelation

      Someday I'll paint my masterpiece
      But until I do
      Can't give you diamond rings
      Only simpler things
      Sweet jam, peaches and cream, Mmm Candy

      I lost my heart the day we met
      Now it's in your hands
      Please treat it tenderly
      I will never be free
      Till you take all of me, I love you

Candy, I love you... Tell me you'll be mine
I'd die to sip at your lips like cherry wine
Lay you down, whisper in your ear
Tell you the words I long to hear
I just want to melt away inside you

      Can't give you diamond rings
      Only simpler things
      Sweet jam, peaches and cream
      Oh, Candy
