Lyrics
1. I’m so very lonesome, dear
You went away just yesterday
How I wish that you were near
Sweet things to say, with me to stray
Every time I hear your voice
So soft and low, it thrills me so
All I ever do is to think of you
All the whole day long
CHORUS
Not because your hair is curly
Not because your eyes are blue
I want you to know, my little dearie
You’re the sweetest little chum I ever knew
There’s something in your style and manner
That seems to tell me, tell me true
That the reason why I love you
‘Cause it’s you, just you
2. You look awful good to me
You bet you do, and that is true
You’re the only one I see
So don’t you mind, I’ll not go blind
Keep a cozy corner, dear
For little me, yes, little me
I want you to know that I love you so
You’re the only one for me
