[Sung by The Tramp]
|
|
Once under a scarlet sky I told you never ending lies,
|
But they were the words of a drunken vagabond
|
Who knew very well he would break your heart before long
|
Oh forgive me Genevieve.
|
|
Now I've come back to see Sweet Lady Genevieve,
|
This time I'll give you some security
|
And I will make promises I can keep
|
So will you come back to me Sweet Lady Genevieve.
|
|
Let me rock you, hold you,
|
Take you in my arms.
|
Forgive me, please,
|
Smile away all your sadness, put your trust in me.
|
|
Oh if you come back to me Sweet Lady Genevieve,
|
I'm not the impetuous fool you used to know
|
I know that I used you and I hurt you so,
|
But that was so long ago Sweet Lady Genevieve.
|
|
Oh, love me,
|
Take me in your arms.
|
Let me rock you, hold you,
|
Smile away all your sadness, put your trust in me.
|
|
Once under a starry sky I led you on and told you lies
|
Drank too much whiskey on that hot summer night.
|
I acted so slyly because you were acting so shy,
|
Oh forgive me Genevieve.
|
|
If you come back to me Sweet Lady Genevieve,
|
You're not the child who smiled so innocently
|
And I'm not the rogue that I used to be,
|
So will you come back to me Sweet Lady Genevieve.
|
|
Oh Genevieve, Oh Genevieve.
