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.
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'm in love with 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
