Lyrics
- When your sweetheart starts a-pouting
Don’t go ’round the house a-shouting
Try to bear in mind the golden rule
For the course of true love ne’er ran smooth
We learned at school
Just keep cool and never hurry
There’s no time to fret and worry
Things like this occur most every day
When the trouble’s over
Then you feel in clover
When you hear her softly say
Chorus
“I’m sorry, sorry
Honest, I’m as sorry as can be
Sorry, sorry
Won’t you please make up with me?
You are missing
Lots of little cuddles and some kissing
I know I wouldn’t feel so blue
If I only knew that you were sorry, too”
- When you’re married and your trouble
Seems as if it’s coming double
Just keep on a-traveling up the hill
For the darkness goes before the dawn
And always will
When you see a storm a-brewing
Go ahead and start your wooing
Just remember love will find a way
All the teardrops sprinkling
Vanish in a twinkling
If you go to her and say
