Sugar Almond

[Verse 1]

I could never stand to have you criticised

I was always such a fan of your rabbity eyes

Sugar-coated almonds as grey as Glasgow skies

I'll just have to say what comes to mind

I loved your heart and soul, you made me kind

There's nothing I can do, you're on the brink of life

[Pre-Chorus]

I liked who we were together

I'm not sure who I'll be apart

I will love you forever and ever

You didn't take much, you never got to start

[Chorus]

I'll match Bette Davis drink for drink

I'll cry like Tiny Tears over your favourite pink

I've had the worst thoughts I could ever think

[Verse 2]

We'll never make it now to that seaside town

But I'll meet you in my dreams and we'll get right down

I'll live my best days, you'll give me courage to find my way

Now that it is time to get a grip of me

I look over at the sandstone to the families

I miss you on the streets, in the breeze that strips the leaves off of the trees

[Pre-Chorus]

Hey, I liked who we were together

I'm not sure who I'll be apart

I will love you forever and ever

You didn't take much, you took a piece of my heart

[Chorus]

I'll match Bette Davis drink for drink

I'll cry like Tiny Tears over your favourite pink

I've had the worst thoughts I could ever think

Won't you sing to me, Carey?
