    For Ella

    by: Patti Austin

    Every honey bee fills with jealousy
    When they see you out with me
    I don’t blame them, goodness knows
    My honeysuckle rose
    Flowers droop and sigh when you're passing by
    And I know the reason why
    You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
    You’re my honeysuckle rose
    I don’t buy sugar
    You just have to touch my cup
    You’re my sugar
    It’s so sweet when you stir it up
    On the avenue, people look at you
    And I know just why they do
    You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
    You’re my honeysuckle rose
    Every honey bee fills with jealousy
    When they see you out with me
    You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
    You’re my honeysuckle rose
    Oh, flowers droop and sigh when you're passing by
    And I know the reason why
    You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
    You’re my honeysuckle rose
    And I don’t buy sugar
    You just have to touch my cup
    You’re my sugar
    It’s so sweet when you stir it up
    On the avenue, people look at you
    And I know just why they do
    You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
    You’re my honeysuckle rose
    You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
    My honeysuckle rose
