Oh Dear, What Can the Matter Be?

[thatweirdo93]

My dad used to sing me this song when I was upset as a child. The way he sang it, it was slow and sad, and it set in a sweet sort of melancholy that never failed to calm me down. Finding it here made my day a little better, so thank you. :)

Indeedy. One of my make-up songs goes:

It is sung to the tune of Dusk by Charles Williams, I believe.
