DON'T MIND, MY DARLING.
Copyright. 1890, by N. Weinstein & Co.
By Paul Steinmark.

Don't mind, my dear, what they will say!
While you love me we're happy to-day.
Let then the world frown, love, or sneer;
What care I for that when your smiles they are near!
Earth cannot give, dear, with all its glare,
One spark of joy if no love be there!
Then cling to my heart, be life sad or gay,
Don't mind, my darling, what the world now will say!
Ah? you are the joy, light of my pathway!
Day would be night if from me you would stray;
Love still shall guide o'er life's dark way;
Don't, then, mind, my darling, what the world, the world may say:
Don't, then, mind, my darling, what this world will say!

Don't mind, my own, naught need we care,
Praise or blame, while our love we can share!
I am your own, sunshine or rain.
Hearts loving as ours naught can part now again!
You by my side, I the world defy!
All it can give is not worth one sigh!
Then cling to me still, be life sad or gay,
Don't mind, my darling, what the world now will say!
Ah! you are the joy, etc.
