Info:
Don't cry, little girl, don't cry,
Don't sigh, little girl, don't sigh,
Remember a smile, is always worthwhile,
When one comes to say "good-bye",
Someday when your dreams come true,
They'll bring happy thoughts to you,
Your tears as they fall,
Hurt my heart most of all,
Please don't cry, little girl, don't cry.
