Charmaine    (1926)

You went away one dreary night
I knew you had to go
'Mid tears and cheers I heard you say
"Charmaine, I love you so!"

Though old years turn to new
My heart keeps calling you
I wonder why you keep me waiting
Charmaine cries in vain

I wonder when bluebirds are mating
Will you come back again
I wonder if I keep on praying
Will our dreams be the same
I wonder if you ever think of me, too
Charmaine's waiting, just waiting for you

I can't forget that night we met
How bright were stars above
That precious memory lingers yet
When you declared your love

And then you went away
And now each night and day
I wonder why you keep me waiting
Charmaine, my Charmaine

I wonder when bluebirds are mating
Will you come back again
I wonder if I keep on praying
Will our dreams be the same
I wonder if you ever think of me, too
I'm waiting my Charmaine for you

Lyrics by Ernö Rapée and Lew Pollack.
Recorded by Guy Lombardo and His Orchestra; many others.
The song was originally composed for the 1926 silent movie What Price Glory?
