A little sugar, honeysuckle lamb
Great expression of happiness
Boy, you could not miss with a dozen roses
Such would astound you
The joy of children laughing around you
These are the makings of you

Please stay right by my side
Two can be one for the righteous way to go
Anyone would know

You're second to none

Love of all mankind should reflect some sign 
Of the words I'm trying to recite
They're close, but not quite
Almost impossible to do
Describing the makings of you
