Lyrics

1. What’s the use of dreaming ’bout you
   Dear old Dear
   I’ve been taught to do without you
   Dear old Dear
   Still I keep your picture like a souvenir
   And I fall to sleep a-calling
   For you my Dear

Chorus
I wonder who’s under the stars with you tonight
If you were here just to cheer me Dear
All the world would seem more bright
I still love the thrill of those days of Auld Lang Syne
And tho’ someone else shares your wedding bells
You’re still an old sweetheart of mine

2. Time goes by so slow without you
   Dear old Dear
   Every night brings dreams about you
   Dear old Dear
   Bit it’s worth each heartache worth each little tear
   Just to think that once you kissed me
   And called me Dear
