Lyrics

  1. Dear little girl, have I made you sad?
    Your lips are trembling so
    Those bitter tears will drive me mad
    Jealous of me I know
    Do you believe there’s another girl
    Do you believe me untrue?
    Though I have wandered in life’s gay whirl
    You’ve called me back to you

Chorus
I’m sorry, dear, so sorry, dear
I’m sorry I made you cry
Won’t you forget, won’t you forgive?
Don’t let us say good-bye
One little word, one little smile
One little kiss won’t you try?
It breaks my heart to hear you sigh
I’m sorry I made you cry

  1. Roses enrapture my thoughts with love
    You are in every rose
    And like the golden sun above
    Your smile with heaven glows
    My soul is thrilled when the song birds sing
    I hear your voice calling me
    Come let us woo like the birds in spring
    Oh, listen to my plea
