Lyrics
- 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
- 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
