Venetian Moon Year 1919 < Click here to listen ! > Lyrics by Gus Kahn Music by Phil Goldberg and Frank Magini Jerome H. Remick & Co. New York & Detroit

First Verse Gone are the cares of the day, Night Calls my sorrow away With you in fancy I stray, While of a silvery stream I dream. Second Verse Bright were the stars in the sky, Lighting the tear in your eye, While you were sighing "Goodbye" Vainly I've tried tto forget we met. Chorus 'Neath the pale Venetian Moon(There are stars that twinkle) and guitars that tinkle), Drifting on a blue lagoon(In moonlight playing 'Mid the shadows swaying,), Melodies you sang to me; Memories shall ever be Long ago and far away(Tender voices blending Just a message sending)Still in dreams, I hear you say(Lonely tips are missing Lips that spoke of kissing)We shall meet some other June, 'Neath the pale Venetian Moon.

Dry Your Tears Year 1918 < Click here to listen ! > Words and Music by Art Hickman and Ben Black Sherman, Clay & Co. San Francisco

First Verse Sweetheart mine, don't look so sad dear, Tell me why you feel so bad dear, Can it be because I'm going away? There's a teardrop in your eye dear, Now you know you must not cry dear, For I'm coming back and when I do I'm going to stay. Second Verse Springtime comes the birds are singing, All the bells are gayly rining, Boy and girl are back together again. In their eyes the love shines brightly, Both their hearts are beating lightly, For they both recall these wondrous words and this sweet refrain: Chorus So dry your tears, life was meant for laughter, The rain comes first and the sunshine ater; Now don't you cry, just smile and be brave, Won't you try to make those tear drops behave. Dry your tears, life was meant for gladness, Forget your troubles and fears; If you'll be happy and gay the clouds will soon roll away, So won't you dry your tears.

First Verse America, I must say I love you, You've more than a mother to me, And although I must stray I must go away Still my home you will always be, So goodbye, I am leaving you soon, I must sail with the last day of June Second Verse America, you're such a young nation, You are just like a big bouncing boy You've been happy and gay, I loved you that way Your freedom the world could enjoy I am sorry to leave you behind I'll come back here when you've changed your mind Chorus I'm goin' to settle down, outside of London Town, Down in a village by the sea, And you will find me there with the country air Where everything is free And when I'm over there, My heart will still be here And I hate to say "Goodbye" But I'm a man who must have a little liquor when I'm dry, dry dry.
