[Verse 1]
And I will stroll the merry way
And jump the hedges first
And I will drink the clear
Clean water for to quench my thirst
And I shall watch the ferry-boats
And they'll get high
On a bluer ocean
Against tomorrow's sky
And I will never grow so old again
And I will walk and talk
In gardens all wet with rain
[Chorus 1]
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing, sweet thing
Oh my, my, my, my, my sweet thing
[Verse 2]
And I shall drive my chariot
Down your streets and cry
Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite
And I don't know why
And you shall take me strongly
In your arms again
And I will not remember
That I ever felt the pain
We shall walk and talk
In gardens all misty wet, all misty wet with rain down
And I will never, never, never
Grow so old again
[Chorus 2]
Oh you sweet thing
Oh you sweet thing, sweet thing
My, my, my, my, my
[Verse 3]
And I will raise my hand up
Into the night time sky
And count the stars
That's shining in your eye
And just to dig it all an' not to wonder
That's just fine
And I'll be satisfied
Not to read in between the lines
And I will walk and talk
In gardens all wet with rain
And I will never, ever, ever, ever
Grow so old again
[Outro]
Oh sweet thing
Oh sugar-baby
Oh sweet thing
Sugar-baby, sugar-baby, sugar-baby
With your champagne eyes
And your saint-like smile
