My Melancholy Baby
T: George A. Norton
M: Ernie Burnett
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, hone
Have I ever said an unkind word to you
My love is true, and just for you
I'd do almost anything at anytime
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
Birds in the trees, sweet melodies
they will take you to a land of peaceful dreams
Clouds will roll by, shadows will fly
through your open window while the pale moon beams
Why do you grieve, Try and believe
life is always sunshine when the heartbeat's true
Banish your fears, Smile through your tears
When you're sad it makes me feel the same as you
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
