about

It is a true story.

lyrics

Sweet Surrender

A metaphor in the making
For sure a dentist’s dream
Soda pop, gummy bears
A candy-coated team.

Word of mouth is the rule
Get caught up in the taste
Wrapped and recycled
Just call it all our waste.

The day The Candy Bar opened
(We) didn’t mind the April cold
Everyone was laughin’
Nobody felt old.
The day The Candy Bar opened
Felt like a perfect day
Blue sky, bubble gum t-shirt
And the clouds all flew away.

Hockey blanket, birthday party
Another family day we’re here
(There’s) no time for pickin banjo
(There’s) no time for beer.

That’s OK, I love my life
My crazy kids, I love my wife
Another moment, another tear,
Sweet surrender is here.

The day The Candy Bar opened
The weekends never last
No shortage of candy rockets The kids all had a blast.
The day The Candy Bar opened Was perfect in every way
Golden sky, end of the day
No words were left to say.

Welcome to the chocolate church
Scottish candies next to Mexican merch
All the shapes all the colours
Candy disco floor
We’re all kids in a candy store.

The neighbourhood keeps changing
Folks come and go
Lotsa brand new faces
Babies and dogs in tow.
It’s not some real-estate showroom
Not another coffee-chain bar
It’s a shop that our friend opened
That reminds us of who we are.

The day The Candy Bar opened Was perfect in every way…
