Won't You Be My Sweetheart? Copyright, 1893, by The S. Bralnard's Sons Co. Words by J. G. Judson. Music by N C. Verner. 
A winsome miss of seven, a lad just full of fun, Beneath the cherry blossoms were swinging in the sun; Of course, to keep from falling his arm around her strayed, While softly he was singing, singing as they swayed: 
Refrain. Won't you be my sweetheart? I love you; He my little sweetheart ever true. Listen to my pleading, do, I pray: Won't you be my sweetheart? Don't say nay. 
Long years have passed since swinging 'neath cherry blossoms bright, She's waiting in the shadows of a sunset's golden light: A well known step sounds near her, his arms her form enfold, With meaning now he's singing the sweet, sweet song of old:-Refrain. 
Old grandma in the orchard tells stories of their youth. With Willie perched on one knee, the other holding Ruth; While grandpa bending o'er them is humming tunes that throng With melodies of happy years, since singing the old sweet song:-Refrain.
