As recorded by ANNETTE HANSHAW (piano and vocals)
with Murray Kellner (violin), 20th October 1926, New York:

The language of of love is the same
In any clime, at any time
A whisper, a smile or a glance
Pierces the heart with Cupid's dart
But, sweetheart, I want you to know
This message, for I love you so

Cherie, Cherie, je t'aime
Cherie, listen again
I want to say that I love you so
I can't pretend that I don't, you know

Cherie, Cherie, je t'aime
Do not say it's in vain
I love you, love you, that's what I mean
When I whisper Cherie, je t'aime

I love you, love you, that's what I mean
When I whisper Cherie, je t'aime

(Instrumental Break)

Cherie, Cherie, je t'aime
Do not say it's in vain
I love you, love you, that's what I mean
When I whisper Cherie, je t'aime

I love you, love you, that's what I mean
When I whisper Cherie, je t'aime
Cherie, je t'aime

That's all!

As recorded by TOM WARING with FRED WARING'S PENNSYLVANIANS:

Cherie, Cherie, my own
Cherie, be mine alone
Though I could praise you a thousand ways
I say it all in that old sweet phrase

Cherie, Cherie, so fair
Tell me, tell me you care
I love you, love you, that's what I mean
When I whisper Cherie, my own

I love you, love you, that's what I mean
When I whisper Cherie, my own

********************

As recorded by FRANKIE LAINE:

Cherie, Cherie, my own
Cherie, be mine alone
I long to tell you that I love you so
And I can't pretend that I don't, oh, dont'cha know

Cherie, Cherie, so fair
Tell me, tell me you care
Love you, love you, that's what I mean
When I whisper Cherie, my own

Cherie, Cherie, so fair
Tell me, tell me you care
'Cause I love you, love you, that's what I mean
When I whisper Cherie, my own

I love you, love you, yes, that's what I mean
When I whisper Cherie, my own
