Sweet And Lovely Lyrics - Thelonious Monk Trio - Thelonious Monk

Sweet and lovely sweeter than the roses in May 

Sweet and lovely heaven must have sent her my way 

Skies above me never were as blue as her eyes 

And she loves me, who would want a sweeter surprise 

When she nestles in my arms so tenderly 

There's a thrill that words cannot express 

In my heart a song of love is taunting me, melody, haunting me 

Sweet and lovely sweeter than the roses in May 

And she loves me, there is nothing more I can say 

Sweet and lovely sweeter than the roses in May 

Sweet and lovely heaven must have sent her my way 

Skies above me never were as blue as her eyes 

And she loves me, who would want a sweeter surprise 

When she nestles in my arms so tenderly 

There's a thrill that words cannot express 

In my heart a song of love is taunting me, melody, haunting me 

Sweet and lovely sweeter than the roses in May 

And she loves me, there is nothing more I can say
