Lyrics

  1. I am so lonely, I am so blue
    I’m happy only when I am with you
    Fame, friends, and fortune?
    I have all three
    But there’s just one thing
    That will comfort me

Chorus
Somebody’s sweetheart I want to be
Somebody’s heart beating all for me
Somebody’s two arms around me
When I feel blue
Somebody’s sweetheart, and that means you

  1. Star up above me, listen to me
    I have a favor I would ask of thee
    Should you when shining
    Some fond heart see
    Be a good fellow
    Guide that heart to me
