Lips Are Redder On You - Gene Pitney

There nothing quite as red

As the cherries in the trees or the hedge

Then you looked at me and then I knew

The lips were redder on you

There's nothing quite as blue

As the sky on a summer afternoon

Then you looked at me and then I knew

The eyes were bluer on you

The moment that I saw

Somehow I just knew

When I held you close to me

I could never let you go

And now I know I love you so

There's nothing quite as fine

As a sweet sugar plum from the vine

'Till I kissed your lips I never knew

The kiss was sweeter from you

The moment that I saw

Somehow I just knew

When I held you close to me

I could never let you go

And now I know I love you so

There nothing quite as red

As the cherries in the trees or the hedge

Then you looked at me and then I knew

The lips were redder on you

Eyes were bluer on you

The kiss was sweeter from you
