Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come to me, my melancholy baby
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
Or else I shall be melancholy too







Smile, my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too
