Genevieve - Mickey Newbury

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
