George Norton , 1912

VERSE 1

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 the very heart of mine.

REFRAIN

Come to me, my melancholy baby,
Cuddle up and don't be blue.
All your fears are foolish fancies, maybe;
You know, dear, that I'm in love with you.
Ev'ry 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.

VERSE 2

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 though your tears,
When you're sad it makes me feel the same as you.

REPEAT REFRAIN
