My Melancholy Baby

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
