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 any thing at any time,
Dear, when you sigh, or when you cry,
Something seems to grip this very heart of mine.

Original Chorus: 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.

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 when 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 me feel the same as you.

Popular Chorus: Come to me, my melancholy baby,
Cuddle up and don't feel blue;
All your fears are foolish fancy, 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 will be melancholy too.
