Lyrics
- Dear little girl, have I made you sad?
Your lips are trembling so
Those bitter tears will drive me mad
Jealous of me I know
Do you believe there’s another girl
Do you believe me untrue?
Though I have wandered in life’s gay whirl
You’ve called me back to you
Chorus
I’m sorry, dear, so sorry, dear
I’m sorry I made you cry
Won’t you forget, won’t you forgive?
Don’t let us say good-bye
One little word, one little smile
One little kiss won’t you try?
It breaks my heart to hear you sigh
I’m sorry I made you cry
- Roses enrapture my thoughts with love
You are in every rose
And like the golden sun above
Your smile with heaven glows
My soul is thrilled when the song birds sing
I hear your voice calling me
Come let us woo like the birds in spring
Oh, listen to my plea
