Tablature is Leo Friedman (music); Beth Whitson (lyrics) - 1910

"Let Me Call You Sweetheart" was the second big hit for the songwriting team of Leo Friedman (music) and Beth Whitson (lyrics). The two wrote nearly 50 songs together, including "In The Sunshine and and Shadow", "Love Rules the World", "Till My Dreams Come True", "High on a Windy Hill", and "Blue Beads". In 1909, they collaborated on "Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland", which was the #1 song (measured in terms of sheet music sales) that year. Written one year later in 1910, "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" sold more than 5 million copies, making it one of the most popular songs of all time. Whitson's sentimental lyrics match perfectly with Friedman's lilting waltz melody. Like many tunes from the Tin Pan Alley era, the song had both a verse and a chorus, although in popular culture, it's only the chorus that is mostly remembered today.
The tune has been performed and recorded over the years by such disparate artists as Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Buddy Holly, and Bob Dylan.
It has also become a standard in the Barbershop Quartet repertoire. Here's a link to a YouTube video of wonderful version of this tune performed by the Shannon Quartet from 1926
Enjoy, and wishing you all a Happy Valentine's Day!
In music and friendship,
--Tull
Lyrics
Chorus:
Let me call you “Sweetheart”
I’m in love with you
Let me hear you whisper
that you love me too
Keep the lovelight glowing
In your eyes so true
Let me call you “Sweetheart”
I’m in love with you.
Verse one:
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.
Verse two:
Longing for you
all the while
More and more
Longing for the sunny smile
I adore you
Birds are singing far and near
Roses blooming ev’rywhere
You, alone, my heart can cheer
You just you.
