Year 1914
By Grant Clarke and Jean Schwartz
As introduced in Ziegfeld's Follies of 1914
Waterson, Berlin and Snyder Strand Theatre Building Broadway at 47th Street |
First Verse Down by the seaside, where waves were rolling, A boy went strolling Moonlight night, he was watching the fish play. That very evening Beside the water, sat Neptune's daughter When he spied her pretty face he cried. Second Verse Once he went fishing, where waves were rolling, He started strolling, Hours went by, Then the shadows began to fall. His heart was lonely He sat there thinking, the sun was sinking From the blue there came a voice he knew. Chorus Lovely little Neptune's daughter Living underneath the water, I love you, Yes I do, You seem to me, to be lonely, When the moon begins to glimmer, If I were a deep sea swimmer Then I'd go down below, My little queen of the sea CLICK HERE TO PLAY THIS SONG |

First Verse We talked it over 'Neath a cloudy sky Love's dream was ended And we said goodbye You decided just as I did That it could not go on But I'm lonely for you only And now that you are gone Second Verse I miss the evenings That we spent alone The sweet "good mornings" On the telephone How I yearn to just return to The days beyond recall And the kisses that you gave me I miss them most of all Chorus I wonder If you still remember I wonder If you could forget I often wonder If it's really over Or if you love me Just a little bit yet I wonder If you ever miss me I wonder If you're ever blue I wonder when we'll meet again And I wonder if you wonder too.

Dear Heart
Year 1919
Words by Jean Lefarve Music by W. C. Polla and Willard Goldsmith C. C. Church and Co. Hartford, Connecticut |
First Verse I'm dreaming dreams of days gone by, A heart that once was true, Of rosy lips, enchanting smiles, And eyes of fairest blue But mem'ry is all that's left, Another claims the prize, Still in my dreams I feel the love, That once beamed in those eyes. Second Verse But dreams come true when faith fails not, As sunshine follows rain, And rosy lips, enchanting smiles, Are mine once more again And mem'ry's now reality, I've fairly won the prize, No cloud can hide the wondrous light, That now beams in those eyes. Chorus Dear heart, are you true to me, My heart yearns for only thee, My Soul knows no sunshine Unless you are mine. Faithful I will always be, You're more than the world to me, Come bring back the sunshine, Dear, Dear heart. CLICK HERE TO PLAY THIS SONG |
