THE CANDY MAN CAN....

Another song stuck in my head.....Sammy Davis Jr. "The Candy Man Can"......

 

It's such a song from my childhood!  It makes me think of the song "brand new pair of roller skates, I got a brand new key", "knocking on Heaven's Door".  The list could go on and on.  Then I think of New Deal Market, I can still picture each and every isle, even some of the stockers and cashiers!  Then of coarse there was the El Rey movie theater....The red velvet chairs, the flick candy in a foil covered cardboard tubes and paying 25 cents more to sit in the upper balcony area!  ok say wait, back to "The Candy Man Can"...

 

Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew

cover it with choc'late and a miracle or two

The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can

The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and

makes the world taste good

 

 

Who can take a rainbow, wrap it in a sigh

soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie

The Candy Man, the Candy Man can

The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and

makes the world taste good

 

The Candy Man makes everything he bakes saitisfying and

delicious

Now you talk about your childhood wishes, you can even

eat the dishes

 

Oh, who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream

separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream

The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can

the Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and

makes the world taste good

 

The Candy Man makes everything he bakes satisfying and

delicious

Talk about your childhood wishes, you can even eat the dishes

 

Who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream

separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream

The Candy Man, the Candy Man can

The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and

makes the world taste good

Yes, the Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and

makes the world taste good

 

the Candy Man can......"

 

This song and so many other songs and people, places and things remind me of my childhood wishes......I'm glad the Candy Man mixes it with love and makes the world taste good...kinda like "paying it forward" makes the world a better place.

 

All because of His Amazing Grace..
