Dear Old Girl by Theodore Morse — Lyrics
Dear Old Girl, the robin sings above you,
Dear Old Girl, it speaks of how I love you,
The blinding tears are falling,
As I think of my lost pearl,

About Dear Old Girl
Theodore Morse's Dear Old Girl is a classic example of barbershop harmony, a genre known for its close, a cappella vocal arrangements. Scored for TTBB (tenor, tenor, bass, bass), this secular song is written in English. The lyrics express a profound sense of longing and heartbreak, with the singer recalling a lost love and his "broken heart is calling" for his "Dear Old Girl". The simple, direct language conveys deep emotion, making it a poignant choice for male voice choirs looking to connect with a familiar and heartfelt theme.
