Sweet Genevieve.1938.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. Oct 2000.

Here's a story of long ago,
two lovers found romance,

eyes were shining and hearts aglow,
love came to us at a dance.

I knew a girl, sweet Genevieve,
a long, long time ago.

The belle of the ball was Genevieve.
They all loved Genevieve so.

I'd never believe Sweet Genevieve
would ever look my way,

and when she agreed to dance with me
it was my luckiest day.

We danced hand in hand and the music was grand,
till I stepped on her shoe trim and white,

But to my surprise she just lifted her eyes
and said, "That's quite alright!"

I'd never deceive my Genevieve
tho' years may come and go,

and I'll never leave sweet Genevieve
because I love her so.

I knew a girl, sweet Genevieve,
a long, long time ago.

The belle of the ball was Genevieve.
They all loved Genevieve so.

I'd never believe Sweet Genevieve
would ever look my way,

and when she agreed to dance with me,
it was my luckiest day.

We danced hand in hand and the music was grand,
till I stepped on her shoe trim and white,

But to my surprise she just lifted her eyes
and said, "That's quite alright!"

I'd never deceive my Genevieve
tho' years may come and go,

and I'll never leave sweet Genevieve
because I love her so.

Dancing under the shaded light,
all around the ballroom hall,

what a picture she looked that night!
She was the envy of all.

I knew a girl, sweet Genevieve,
a long, long time ago.

The belle of the ball was Genevieve.
They all loved Genevieve so.

I'd never believe Sweet Genevieve
would ever look my way,

and when she agreed to dance with me,
it was my luckiest day.

We danced hand in hand and the music was grand,
till I stepped on her shoe trim and white,

But to my surprise she just lifted her eyes,
and said, "That's quite alright!"

I'd never deceive my Genevieve,
tho' years may come and go,

and I'll never leave sweet Genevieve
