Lyrics
1. Dearie I am sad, won’t you make me glad
Say you love me, honey do
Please don’t go away, dearie won’t you stay
Don’t you know I love you true
Come and let me put my arms around you
Gee, but I am awful glad, I’ve found you
When I know you’re near, troubles disappear
Say that you won’t leave me dear
Chorus:
I want you when it’s sunshine
I want you when it’s rain
I want you when it’s wintertime
And when summer comes again
I want you when you’re sad dear
I want you when you’re glad
I want you to be always mine
For I want you all the time
2. I am happy dear, now that you are here
All is sunshine, skies are blue
Robin sings his best while he builds his nest
Won’t you let me build for you?
We will love on honey, love and kisses
When I’ll change your name from Miss to Mistress
You will always be just the same to me
I’m for you and you’re for me
