Lyrics

  1. Under the moon, two lovers spoon
    Just at eventime
    To her he said, “My heart you’ve read
    Promise to be mine
    This world is drear, your love would cheer
    Things ne’er go right,” he sighed
    “When I feel blue, I think of you
    And long to have you by my side”

Chorus
What’s the dif’rence
When the girl you love loves you?
What’s the dif’rence
Whether skies are dark or blue?
Does it matter whether friends are false or true?
What’s the dif’rence
When the girl you love loves you?

  1. For some, this world holds joys untold
    And from care are free
    Singing and gay, the livelong day
    Happy as can be
    For me this life, is full of strife
    I care not what betide
    The maiden knew, his heart was blue
    And softly to him she replied
