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, may be,
you know, dear,
that I am strong for 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.

Now won't you
Come to me,
my melancholy baby,
Cuddle up and don't be blue;
All your fears
are foolish fancy, may be,
you know, dear,
that I am strong for 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.

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 thro' your tears,
when you're sad
it makes ne feel the same as you.

Come to me,
my melancholy baby,
Cuddle up and don't be blue;
All your fears
are foolish fancy, may be,
you know, dear,
that I am strong for 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.

Now won't you
Come to me,
my melancholy baby,
Cuddle up and don't be blue;
All your fears
are foolish fancy, may be,
you know, dear,
that I am strong for 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.
