My Melancholy Baby

Music by Ernie Burnett, with lyrics by George A. Norton

Come, sweetheart mine,

Don't you 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?

Come to me,

my melancholy baby.

Come to me and

cuddle up

Don't you be blue.

All your fears,

They're 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 brush away each tear,

Or else I shall be

melancholy too.

Every cloud,

it has

that silver lining

Just wait until the sun

shines through.

Smile, my honey dear,

and I’ll brush away each tear,

So I am not

melancholy too.
