Honeysuckle Rose
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
When you're passing by
Flowers droop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
Don't buy sugar, you just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar, it's sweet when you stir it up
While I'm taking sips
From your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
Your confection goodness knows
And you're my honey, honey sucklerose
Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them goodness knows
'Cause you're my honey, honey
Flowers droop and sigh
When you're passing by
And I know the reason why
You're perfection, goodness knows
And you're my honey, honey, honey
Don't buy sugar, you just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar, so sweet when you stir it up
On the avenue people look at you
And I know just why they do
You're perfection goodness knows
And you're my honey
Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them, goodness knows
Honey, honey sucklerose
When you're passing by
Flowers droop an sigh
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter goodness knows
My honeysuckle rose
Don't buy sugar you just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar it's sweet when you stir it up
When I'm taking sips
From your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
Your confection goodness knows
You're my honey sucklerose
You're my honey
Honey, honey, honey
You're my honey sucklerose
