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 won't make promises I can't 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 that 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 'cause 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
