Let Me Call You Sweetheart
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Let Me Call You Sweetheart" is a popular song.
The music was written by Leo Friedman, the lyrics by Beth Slater Whitson. The song was published in 1910. The girl who modeled for the original sheet music is alleged to have been Virginia Rappe, the subject of the 1921 Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle scandal.
A version of the song has recently been used in a British advert for mobile phone operator and internet service provider Orange SA, involving a wind-up toy of two figures hugging. The version used is sung by Oliver Hardy from the 1938 film Swiss Miss, made with his comic partner Stan Laurel.
The complete lyrics:
I am dreaming dear of you, Day by day; Dreaming when the skies are blue, When they're gray; When the silv'ry moonlight gleams, Still I wander on in dreams, In a land of love, it seems, Just with you.
Let me call you "Sweetheart," I'm in love with you. Let me hear you whisper That you love me too. Keep the love-light glowing In your eyes so true. Let me call you "Sweetheart," I'm in love with you. (repeat chorus)
Longing for you all the while, More and more; Longing for the sunny smile, I adore; Birds are singing far and near, Roses blooming ev'rywhere You, alone, my heart can cheer; You, just you.
Let me call you "Sweetheart," I'm in love with you. Let me hear you whisper That you love me too. Keep the love-light glowing In your eyes so true. Let me call you "Sweetheart," I'm in love with you.
