You Made Me Forget How To Cry
Year 1920
Words by Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young Music by Maurice Abrahams Waterson, Berlin and Snyder Co. Strand Theatre Building New York |
First Verse I tried to forget I was lonesome and blue, I tried not to frown and complain. I tried to forget all the sadness I knew, I tried but it all seemed in vain. When you came a long like the dawn of a day, You drove all the darkness away. Second Verse I'll never forget there were clouds in the skies, I tried to forget they were drear. I'll never forget that light in your eyes, Just made all the clouds for your head, The day that my lonely heart said: Chorus You made me forget how to cry, little girl A world full of sighs, Put clouds in my eyes I prayed for sunshine, Time and time again; You were the sunshine that follwoed the rain. For I never knew how to smile little girl My heart wouldn't even let me try. But you seemed to be a God send to me, 'Cause you made me forget how to cry.' CLICK HERE TO PLAY THIS SONG |
Stolen Kisses
Year 1921
Words by Francis Wheeler Music by Ted Snyder Waterson, Berlin and Snyder Co. Strand Theatre Building Broadway at 47th Street New York |
First Verse Time, dear, is fleeting, And my heart is beating; It just keeps repeating, "Steal another kiss." Oh! how I'm yearning, With a love that's burning; Just for returning, of those stolen kisses. Second Verse With moonlight gleaming, I just start in dreaming; And I'm always scheming, How to steal a kiss. There's one impression, That demands expression; It's a grave confession, and it goes like this dear. Chorus Stolen kisses sweet, Made our joy complete. That's when first I knew, Each kiss had me captured, enraptured. Of all the world's great bliss, There's none like love's first kiss. I'd give the world just to enfold you, hold you; And steal another kiss from you. CLICK HERE TO PLAY THIS SONG |
Bright Eyes
Year 1920
Words by Harry B. Smith Music by Otto Motzan and M. K. Jerome Waterson, Berlin and Snyder Co. Strand Theatre Building New York |
First Verse If you love me why don't you tell me so? What's the use of always saying "no?" For now and then your secret I surmise when I look in your eyes. Second Verse I've often wondered if you really knew, All your laughing eyes tell me of you. You might as well confess and name the day if they mean all they say. Chorus Bright eyes I know you so well Bright eyes what secrets you tell I can't believe a word you say Your eyes are traitors, they give you away. Bright eyes they give me a thrill Bright eyes just say what you will; There is a meaning you cannot disguise in your bright eyes. CLICK HERE TO PLAY THIS SONG |
