Mickey Newbury - Genevieve lyrics

rate me

Genevieve, Genevieve,

What does it all mean to you?

Genevieve, Genevieve,

My heart is breaking in two.

Goodbye, so long,

I will never be this hurt again.

Oh, Genevieve, Genevieve,

See how the mornin's begin.

Well, wouldn't it be nice,

If I could say, "What the hell, it's been fun."

But, Genevieve, Genevieve,

You're leavin' me leaves me undone.

So my old friend, the highway,

I will cry on your shoulder again.

Oh, Genevieve, Genevieve,

Here's where the story begins.

Laughin' like a fool,

Till I was no longer able to breathe.

A broken-down, shell of a man,

And his woman and me.

Stopped at a cafe,

They would not let us come in.

Oh, Genevieve, Genevieve,

See how the madness begins.

Genevieve,

I just had to see you somehow.

Oh, the years have been kind, you

Were never as lovely as now.

And closing my eyes,

I can almost be with you again.

But Genevieve, Genevieve,

Here's where the story will end.
