Lyrics
- Gee! I feel so blue
Far away my thoughts do wander
To spots in Cupid’s loveland
Then I sit and ponder
Of all the pretty faces that have smiled on me
And Oh! if but the lovelight in their eyes I could see
Strangely now it seems
Cupid’s dart it does some missing
From the girlie sweet there is no kissing
At times I feel so sad
Just a smile would make me glad
I feel so blue to think of you alone
Chorus
Ev’rywhere I go, all the girls I know
Listen dear, I love but you
There’s a brunette, too
One with eyes of blue
Girls like you are very few
That one looks petite
This one smiles so sweet
And for you what would I do
Now it comes to me
You can plainly see
I was never meant for you
- I know what I’ll do
Now that I am feeling lonely
The smiles I gave away
Were meant for you, dear, only
But since you have refused them
And have turned your eyes away
I hope that you will miss them
On some near future day
Somewhere there’s a girl
Whose eyes with love are gleaming
Now thro’ all these hours of her I’m dreaming
I wish that she were mine
But I will abide my time
I will forget but not regret alone
