Lyrics by Ballard MacDonald

Broadway & 47th Street
New York

First Verse
Love's in the air I'll take you where You fell in love with me When shadows fall You will recall Visions of used to be, dear:

Second Verse
You were so sweet Joy was complete Life seemed a song of bliss Years have gone by Yet not a sigh Since I first felt your kiss, dear:

Chorus
Let your mem'ry stray Back Ohio way Drifting down a stream one June night In a birch canoe 'Neath the Heavens blue Where the willows greet the moonlight As we glide along I can hear your song Just as in the days of yore While the stars above Smile upon our love By the old Ohio shore.

Words by Grant Clarke
Music by Walter Donaldson

New York



First Verse
You brought the sunshine into my heart, You made the whole world fair; Then all at one time, You took the sunshine, Leaving the shadows there:

Second Verse
I trusted you dear that's why I stayed, Always so true sweetheart. Dear have you pondered, If I had wondered, You'd have the broken heart:

Chorus
Tired of me, tired of me, Sorry, is all you say; Just like a toy, Children enjoy, Loved and then thrown away. Somebody new, Looks good to you, Happy I hope you'll be. I love you still, I always will, Though you grew tired of me.

Lyrics by J. Keirn Brennan
Music by Ernest R. Ball


J. Witmark & Sons.
New York

First Verse
You could not give me all your love, Although I know you tried; But what you gave made me your slave, And I was satisfied.

Second Verse
What food you brought for loving though, Within your tender eyes; In your one kiss, one taste of bliss, I found life's greatest prize.

Chorus
Little crumbs of happiness That fell like golden grain, Filled my hungry, homesick heart And stilled that lonesome pain. Little drops of tenderness That made me love you so; Little crumbs of happiness You gave me long ago.
