Lyrics
- What a pity! What a shame!
Such a pretty girl as you in tears?
What’s the reason? Who’s to blame?
Won’t you let me try to calm your fears?
Lovely little girls should be glad
Beauty wasn’t made to be sad
Chorus
How can you cry with those beautiful eyes
Beautiful eyes of blue, dear?
Tears have no place on your pretty face
Smiles are more becoming to you, dear
Don’t hide the light of those beautiful eyes
Come, let that light shine thru’, dear
Love will come again, like the sun thru the rain
If you smile with those beautiful eyes
- What the matter, little girl?
Has your great big love affair gone wrong?
With your dimple and your curl
You don’t have to be alone for long
Smile and show your sweet loveliness
Beauty shouldn’t be in distress
