Sweet And Lovely
Words & Music by Gus Arnheim, Jules LeMare & Harry TobiasRecorded by Russ Columbo, 1931**
C C/B Am7 C7
There's sweetness in the call of the woodland dove
F Dm7-5
As his love song echoes through the trees,
G G7 Fdim Am7 Am7/G
There's sweetness in the rose, with its symbol of love
E B7 Em Am Em
Floating on the summer breeze.
Gdim A7+5 Dm Am7 Dm7 Dm+7
But nothing can compare to the sweet - ness of
D9 Am7 D7 G Cdim G
The one and only one I love.
G Edim G7 Dm7-5
Sweet and love - ly,
G Edim G7 Dm7-5
Sweet - er than the ro - ses in May;
C C7 F Bbm9
Sweet and love - ly --
CM7 Am Dm7 G7 C
Heaven must have sent her my way.
G Edim G7 Dm7-5
Skies a - bove me
G Edim G7 Dm7-5
Nev - er were as blue as her eyes;
C C7 F Bbm9
And she loves me --
CM7 Am Dm7 G7 C
Who would want a sweet - er sur - prise?
Bridge:
Bb9 Fdim C
When she nestles in my arms so tenderly,
Bb9 Fdim C
There's a thrill that words cannot express.
G#7 Bb Gdim D7
In my heart a song of love is taunting me, melody haunting me.
G Edim G7 Dm7-5
Sweet and love - ly,
G Edim G7 Dm7-5
Sweet - er than the ro - ses in May;
C C7 F Bbm9
Sweet and love - ly --
CM7 Am Dm7 G7 C
Heaven must have sent her my way.
