Lyrics

  1. Smile, dear, and night turns to day
    Frown, and the blue skies are grey
    You make the world seem a garden
    Shadows all pass away

Refrain
Deep in my heart is a nest
Come and rest here, Eleanor
Every thorn is a rose when you’re near me
You can cheer me, Eleanor
The lovelight so bright in your eyes, dear
Makes me want you more and more
For your name is a song I am singing all day long
Eleanor, sweet, Eleanor

  1. Fair as a morning in June
    Sweet as the nightingale’s tune
    I see your smile in my dreams, dear
    We cannot wed too soon
