Stay as Sweet as You Are
Faron Young · The Classic Years 1952-62 [Bear Family (Germany)] [1991]
(Stay as sweet as you are sweet as you are.)
(Stay just as sweet as you are.)
Stay as sweet as you are don't let a thing ever change you
Stay as sweet as you are don't let a soul rearrange you
Don't ever lose all the charms you possess
Your loveliness darling the way you say yes.
Stay as sweet as you are discreet as you are you're divine dear
Stay as grand as you are and as you are tell me that you're mine dear
Young and gay or old and gray near to me or afar
Night and day I pray that you'll always stay as sweet as you are.
(Stay as sweet as you are)
(Don't let a thing ever change you, change you)
(Stay as sweet as you are)
(Don't let a soul rearrange you)
Don't ever lose all the charms you possess
Your loveliness darling the way you say yes.
Stay as sweet as you are discreet as you are you're divine dear
Stay as grand as you are and as you are tell me that you're mine dear
Young and gay or old and gray near to me or afar
Night and day I pray that you'll always stay as sweet as you are...
(Stay as sweet as you are sweet as you are.)
(Stay just as sweet as you are.)
