SWEET AS A SONG
Harry Revel (m) Mack Gordon (l) 1937
as rec by Louis Armstrong & his Orch
Jan 12th 1938 Los Angeles
Mmm you're sweet as a song,
Mama you're sweet as a song,
For you possess
All the warm tenderness
Of "Auld Lang Syne".
You sweet as a "June
Serenade To A Moon",
You'll always be like
The quaint harmony
Of "Sweet Adeline".
Oh, you sweet as a song,
Mama you sweet as a song,
You're choras of "Trees",
You're lovely reprise
Of "Kiss Me Again".
Now darlin' when you're in my arm,
There's nothin' could go wrong,
As long as you remain
A haunting refrain,
You're sweet as a song.
