Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Why should we quarrel, dear?
Our love has been sincere
Why should we waste the hours away?
Let’s do as children do
Make up and start anew
I’m sorry, and so are you
Refrain
Bygones, with every doubt and fear
Are bygones, so brush away each tear
The day dawns with sunshine bright and clear
For you and for me, and the joy that’s to be
Let me enfold you, dearest and best
Hold you nearest my breast
And we’ll be just as before
Sweethearts once more
Bygones are bygones that’s all
- We ought to share the blame
To part would be a shame
Confess that you’re unhappy, too
I’m sure you sometimes sigh
I know the reason why
You’re lonely and so am I
