Lyrics
My Heart's Delight
Words & Music by Durwood Walker
Sweet sugar and spice
You're a dream, you're everything nice
It's cozy and warm
In your arms, I thrill to your charm
My cares all fade away
With each tender word that you say
It's so good so right when you hold me tight
You're my heart's delight
Sweet sugar and spice
A glow of love shines in your eyes
You're precious, you're divine
Always be my valentine
I can't believe this is real
This glorious feeling I feel
Our love is alive, I'll shout to the skies
You're my heart's delight
You're wonderful, adorable
An angel, that's plain to see
Darling, you are an angel
And you were sent from heaven
Specially for me
Sweet sugar and spice
Beautiful love you're all that is nice
For the rest of my life
I want you here by my side
I searched for true love before
You've given me true love and more
Sweet sugar and spice
You're my heart's delight,
Hmm, hmm, hmm
