SWEET AFFECTION
Clyde Otis / Jennings

as rec by Sarah Vaughan w Hal Mooney & his Orch  
Oct 29th 1957 New York


Apples love sunshine, cherries love dew,
Angels in heaven know I love you
With sweet affection, (sweet affection)
Sweet affection, (sweet affection)
But don't expect me to hang my broken heart
On a chestnut tree.

Once you loves me (sweet affection)
With sweet affection, (sweet affection)
Once your thoughts, (sweet affection)
Were all of me! (sweet affection)
But now you've gone (sweet affection)
And found another, (sweet affection)
And I'm just (sweet affection)
A memory!

pples love sunshine, cherries love dew,
Angels in heaven know I love you
With sweet affection, (sweet affection)
Sweet affection, (sweet affection)
But don't expect me to hang my broken heart
On a chestnut tree.

Gonna send back (sweet affection)
All those letters (sweet affection)
That you wrote (sweet affection)
With a fickle pen! (sweet affection)
And from now on (sweet affection)
We'll act like strangers, (sweet affection)
Or at least (sweet affection)
Till we meet again!

Apples love sunshine, cherries love dew,
Angels in heaven know I love you
With sweet affection, (sweet affection)
Sweet affection, (sweet affection)
But don't expect me to hang my broken heart
On a chestnut tree. (sweet affection, sweet affection)
