SWEETHEART WALTZ
(Jack Caddigan / Chick Story, 1920)
Dearie now tell me, why do you sigh,
Why do you let all the Sunshine pass bye,
Life's all too short for a worry or care,
When melody fills the air: Let us
Back of the shadows, there lies the sun,
Waiting the dawning when night-time is done,
Don't hide the Sun with a sorrowful sigh,
Let all your clouds pass you by: Let us
Dance a good old sweet-heart waltz,
In a good old fashioned way,
Let us glide along while life's a song
And there's Moonligh on the bay,
Let us sing a song of brighter days,
And forget each other's faults,
There are miles and miles of Sunny Smiles,
When dancing a sweet-heart waltz.
