Cuddle up and don't be blue
All your fears are foolish fancies, maybe
You know, honey, I'm in love with you
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Just wait until the sun shines through
Smile, my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Smile, my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too
