Lyrics
- Come sweetheart mine, don’t sit and pine
Tell me of the cares that make you feel so blue
What have I done? answer me Hon’
Have I ever said an unkind word to you?
My love is true, and just for you
I’d do almost anything at any time
Dear, when you sigh or when you cry
Something seems to grip this very heart of mine
Chorus
Come to me my melancholy baby
Cuddle up and don’t be blue
All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe
You know, dear, that I am strong for you
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Smile my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy, too
- Birds in the trees, whispering breeze
Should not fail to lull you into peaceful dreams
So tell me why, sadly you sigh
Sitting at the window where the pale moon beams
You shouldn’t grieve, try and believe
Life is always sunshine when the heart beats true
Be of good cheer, smile through your tears
When you’re sad it makes me feel the same as you
