BE SWEET TO ME
(Lee Morse / Bob Downey / Al Dubin)


Lee Morse - 1928





A little consolation goes a long, long way
A little consolation brightens up each day
Though there are times we disagree
I know how sweet, dear, you can be
We may spat, but what of that
Ev'ryone does, you see

But won't you be sweet to me
Just as sweet as can be
And I will be sweet to you

What if we quarrel
We'll make up and smile
Then watch our dreams all come true

When skies are cold and grey
Just a little kiss or two
Brings around a little bluebird
And the Sun comes peepin' through

So be sweet to me
Just as sweet as can be
And I will be sweet to you

Whenever it is raining
Long as you are here
I'll never be complaining
Knowing you are near

All that I need is someone who
Knows what to do when I am blue
Someone I can cuddle to
Somebody just like you

(Instrumental Break)

Oh, be sweet to me
Just as sweet as can be
And I will be sweet to you, oh, sweet little you

What if we quarrel
We'll make up and smile
Then watch our dreams all come true

Though skies are cold and grey
Hear the birdies go 'tweet-tweet'
When it comes to bein' happy
Why, they got a system can't be beat

So be sweet to me
Just as sweet as can be
And I will be sweet to you
