Sue, dry your pretty eyes of blue
Tears are never meant for you
Smile awhile, please do
Sue, don't believe the things you hear
You know I'm lonely
For only sweet you
Every star above
Knows the one I love
Sweet Sue, just you
And the moon up high
Knows the reason why
Sweet Sue, it's you
No one else it seems ever shares my dreams
Without you, dear, I don't know what I'd do
In this heart of mine
You live all the time
Sweet Sue, just you
Why should you sit around and sigh
When the Sun up in the sky
Shines for you and I

As recorded by TED LEWIS & His Orch.:
Look, honey, look at those stars above
Oh, they'll tell ya that I'm crazy about you
I'm just wild about you, Sue
And look at that Moon on high, look at him
He's laughin' at'cha, he knows why
And I don't blame him, honey
He knows it's you, just you
You know it seems, it seems that you are in all my dreams
And without ya, tell me, what am I gonna do
And in this heart of mine
There ain't nobody else but you
You're there all the time, ah, c'mon Sue
Will ya, Sue
Ah, say, if you only knew
Without ya, what could I do
I can't do nothin', nothin'
Nothin' I tell ya
It's you, Sue, it's you I tell ya
Nobody, nobody else, but you
