Charlie Parker and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
While, I kiss away each tear
Or else, I shall be melancholy too
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Please, cuddle up, my dear
While, I kiss away each tear
Or else, I shall be melancholy too
The lyrics to "Melancholy Baby" by Charlie Parker and His Orchestra convey a message of love and reassurance to a melancholic lover. The opening lines "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" displays a loving and caring approach to the melancholy lover's feelings. The lyrics suggest that the lover's worries are baseless and assure them of love and affection which will help in overcoming the melancholic state.
The second verse "Every cloud must have a silver lining, Wait until the sun shines through, Cuddle up, my dear, While, I kiss away each tear, Or else, I shall be melancholy too" reinforces the idea of hope and faith in a better day.

Come to me, my melancholy baby
Come to me, my love, even though you are feeling sad and downhearted
Cuddle up and don't be blue
Embrace me and don't feel sad
All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe
Your worries are unfounded and unnecessary to be concerned about, possibly
You know, dear, that I'm in love with you
You are aware, my love, that I have strong feelings of affection for you
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Even during hardship, there is always something positive that can come out of any situation

Cuddle up, my dear
Snuggle closely to me, my beloved
While, I kiss away each tear
I will kiss your tears away in order to comfort you

Please, cuddle up, my dear
I implore you to embrace me, my love
Or else, I shall be melancholy too
If you do not find comfort in my embrace, then I will also become saddened and depressed
