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

Come to me, my melancholy baby
Let me comfort you, my dear, who is feeling sad
Cuddle up and don't be blue
Embrace me and don't feel sad
All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe
Perhaps all your worries are just unfounded negative thoughts
You know, dear, that I'm in love with you
I want to remind you that I love you
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Even in the darkest times, there is always a glimmer of hope
Wait until the sun shines through
Be patient, because things will get better eventually
Cuddle up, my dear
Hold me close, my love
While, I kiss away each tear
Let me comfort you by kissing away your tears
Or else, I shall be melancholy too
If you don't let me comfort you, I will feel sad too

This is a cute number. My favorite takes are the Sy Oliver chart for the T. Dorsey band, with the Pied Pipers vocal, and the Miller record, from a Jerry Gray arrangement, with Marion Hutton's vocal.
