Come Back Dixie Year 1915 Words by Jack Mahoney Music by Percy Weinrich Leo Feist Feist Building New York Share this song with friends

First Verse I'm standing in the old peach orchard, Dixie, Where the rose played hide and seek with the peach bloom in your cheek; The blossoms left the trees just as we parted, And to me every day seems a week. Oh, how I yearn for your return, I want you near me, to hear me and cheer me, The lovelight in your eyes will ever shine, dear, In the orcahrd, way down in my heart. Second Verse In dreams again we wander through the wildwood, Where the orioles would throng' mid magnolias all day long; Your face is mirrored in the silent river, And the brook seems to ripple your song. Down in my heart memories start With recollections of that old affection, My dreaming seems to bring sweet consolation, And some day every dream will come true. Chorus Won't you come back, Dixie, Bring back the sunshine that you took away with you, All the world seems dreary Without you, dearie, I am lonely for you only; Down in the land of cotton You're not forgotten, The springtime is calling for you, We will love each other, like dad and mother, Come back, Dixie, Dixie, do.

I Used To Love You But It's All Over Now Year 1920 Words by Lew Brown Music by Albert Von Tilzer Broadway Music Corporation Will Von Tilzer - President 145 West 45th Street New York Share this song with friends

First Verse I used to bless the day I first met you I planned so many things for just us two But now its plain to see that you have never cared for me You can't deny you fooled me from the start It's best we part, before you break my heart Second Verse I never would believe the things I'd hear Because I always thought you were sincere But now I find I'm wrong for you've been flirting right along You will admit I acted on the square Still you don't care and you've been so unfair Chorus I used to love you, but its all over, All over now, You know it's all over town that you threw me down But you shouldn't let that kind of story go 'round For you've had your chance, and now it's all over, I'll get along somehow Now there are things that you did, I used to forgive But you'll never change just as long as you live, I used to love you, but it's all over, all over now.

First Verse Oh! Mister Newspaperman Please help me out if you can My sweetie wander'd away I fear she may go astray I've searched her every place I haven't found any trace I'm feeling awfully bad So please run this ad In your Lost and Found column today: Second Verse I have been waiting in vain Hoping to hear once again Her sweet voice calling to me I wonder where she can be My feelings I can't disguise Every one reads in my eyes They see that I'm all upset Seems I can't forget There's but one thing to do advertise: Chorus Lost a wonderful girl A wonderful pearl Please help me find her And remind her She is all the world to me Without her I don't even care 'bout livin' Tell her everything will be forgiven I would give up all that I own If she'd only hurry back home I'm kind a lost without her, Lost a wonderful girl Won't the finder please return her to me.

When I Hear A Dreamy Waltz Year 1919 Words by Grant Clarke McCarthy and Fisher Inc. 224 W. 46th Street New York Share this song with friends

First Verse When lovers part very sad you'll always find them, In every heart there is something to remind them, Maybe it's a face, maybe it's a place, And I have something too that still reminds me of you. Second Verse I love to hear pretty tunes by Mister Verdi, Ilove to hear any common hurdy gurdy, Underneath the moon, any dreamy tune, On a sweet guitar will bring you back from a far Chorus When I hear a dreamy waltz melody, Then your smile I can see, And I think how happy we used to be, Every waltz refrain brings you back again, There are times when it seems I've forgotten you, You're only a sweet memory, But I see all your charms and you're back in my arms, When I hear a dreamy waltz melody.

Have A Smile For Everyone You Meet And They Will Have A Smile For You Year 1918 Lyric by J. Keirn Brennan and Paul Cunningham Music by Bert Rule Corrine Griffith - Vitagraph Star on cover. M. Witmark and Sons Share this song with friends

First Verse When you're blue and things go wrong with you, Don't try to share it, grin and bear it, And your dreams are to come true; When you're sad Just make believe you're glad, And all the world will smile with you. Second Verse When you fear the days because they're drear, Don't you regret it, just forget it, And the sun us sure to appear; Pride and pluck, Will always bring good luck, So keep on smiling while you're here. Chorus Have a smile for every one you meet, And every one will have a smile for you. Every mile along life's busy street is filled with friendship true. Each tomorrow Brings new sorrow, So why borrow tears? The thing to do is have a smile For every one you meet, And they will have a smile for you. CLICK HERE TO PLAY THIS SONG
