Carl Perkins - Sweeter Than Candy Lyrics

With a dirty nose pressed hard against the window
Of a candy store one day
A ragged little girl stood barefoot
While the hurried crowd went madly on their way

One lady stopped and smiled; she said, "I think I'll go inside,
And would you like to come along with me?"
Then behind that dirty face, she saw a smile that made her day
They just don't make candy that sweet

Then she bought some shoes for her little feet
Then dressed her up fit for a queen
And with a smile that came from heaven
She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you"
With an angel twinkle in her eyes
She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you
And Boy, I sure look pretty"
And then she asked, "Are you God's wife?"

Are we walkin' too fast to see
A barefoot child on a lonely street
Are we rushin' by the ones in need
Or will some child play for you and me

With a smile that came from heaven
She said, "Ma'am", I sure do love you"
With an angel twinkle in her eyes
She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you
And boy, I sure look pretty"
And then she asked, "Are you God's wife?"

She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you
And boy, I sure look pretty"
And then she asked, "Are you God's wife?"
