The Rhythm Maniacs. On this occasion, a pseudonym for Roy Fox ahb directed by Lew Stone


You seem to laugh at a smile
Just all of the while
With me feeling awfully lonesome and blue
I sigh and I cry, I know I would die
If anything happened to you

Before I knew of your love
Like the stars up above
I had not a single worry or care
I know I would die, and you know just why
If anything happened to you

You know I'm not asking much
But for one little touch
Of the hand that I long to hold

I bare all your care all
Your troubles, I'd share
Through the years so we both grow old

But don't you think you might find
Like the stars in the sky
To be just a little glimmer of light
To one who you know would quietly go
If anything happened to you
