Sweet Genevieve lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, Genevieve, sweet Genevieve
I bless the hour when first we met

[Chorus]
Oh, Genevieve, sweet Genevieve
The days may come, the days may go
But still the hands of memory weave
The blissful dreams of long ago

[Verse]
Oh, Genevieve, I'd give the world
To live again the lovely past
The rose of youth was dew impearled
But now it withers in the blast
I see your face in every dream
My waking thoughts are full of thee
Thy glance is in the starry beam
That falls along the summer sea

[Chorus]
Oh, Genevieve, sweet Genevieve
The days may come, the days may go
But still the hands of memory weave
The blissful dreams of long ago (Long ago)
