Carl Perkins — Sweeter Than Candy

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 camе from heaven She said, "Ma'am, I surе do thank you" And 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 walking too fast to see A barefoot child on a lonely street Are we rushing by the ones in need Or will some child say to 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?"
