Music: Ernie Burnett, Lyrics: George Norton, Maybelle
Watson,
Tommy Edwards (#26 in 1959)
Come to me, my melancholy baby
Cuddle up and don't be blue
All your fears are foolish fancies, maybe
You know, honey, I'm in love with you
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Just wait until the sun shines through
Smile, my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too
This all-time
standard was the only hit written by the composer. Often recorded and used
in motion pictures. It was sung by Bing Crosby in the Hollywood musical "The
Birth of the Blues" (1941) and by Judy Garland in "A Star is Born" (1954)
and Gogi Grant, dubbing for Anne Blyth, in "The Helen Morgan Story" (1957).
