Lyrics
- Under the moon, two lovers spoon
Just at eventime
To her he said, “My heart you’ve read
Promise to be mine
This world is drear, your love would cheer
Things ne’er go right,” he sighed
“When I feel blue, I think of you
And long to have you by my side”
Chorus
What’s the dif’rence
When the girl you love loves you?
What’s the dif’rence
Whether skies are dark or blue?
Does it matter whether friends are false or true?
What’s the dif’rence
When the girl you love loves you?
- For some, this world holds joys untold
And from care are free
Singing and gay, the livelong day
Happy as can be
For me this life, is full of strife
I care not what betide
The maiden knew, his heart was blue
And softly to him she replied
