A SONG OUT OF THE ORDINARY
Sweetheart-Do You
Lyric by MAY STANLEY
Remember?
Music by GEOFFREY O'HARA
THE composer of this song knows how to write nothing but successes; and
in this melody he had a real inspiration. It is so compounded of rhythm and
tunefulness that it tantalizes you into wanting to hear it again, to own it, to
learn it. Try these fetching strains, and see if it is not a truly delightful union
of words and music.
