Lyrics

Like the wind that shakes the bough
She moves me with a smile
The difficult I’ll do right now
The impossible will take a little while

I say I’ll move the mountains
And I’ll move the mountains
If she wants them out of the way
Crazy she calls me
Sure, I’m crazy
Crazy in love, I say

I say I’ll go through fire
And I’ll go through fire
If she wants it, so will it be
Crazy she calls me
Sure, I’m crazy
Crazy in love, you see

Like the wind that shakes the bough
She moves me with a smile
The difficult I’ll do right now
The impossible will take a little while

I say I’ll care forever
And I mean forever
If I have to hold up the sky
Crazy she calls me
Sure, I’m crazy
Crazy in love am I

About Candy Kisses	“Candy Kisses” was written by country singer George Morgan. It reached #1 on the Billboard country music charts in 1949.

Candy kisses wrapped in paper mean more to you than any of mine
Candy kisses wrapped in paper you’d rather have them any old time

You don’t mean it when you whisper those sweet love words in my ear
Candy kisses wrapped in paper mean more to you than mine do dear

I built a castle
Out of dreams, dear
I thought that you
Were building one too

Now my castles
All have fallen
And I am left
Alone and blue

Once my heart was filled with gladness now there’s sadness only tears
Candy kisses wrapped in paper mean more to you than mine do dear

“Candy Kisses” was recorded on September 6, 1961 and released in 1962 on a 45 rpm record as well as on the album I Left My Heart in San Francisco. It was arranged by Marty Manning.
