Lyrics

  1. Wonderful! Oh, it’s wonderful
    To be in love with you
    Beautiful! You’re so beautiful
    You haunt me all day through

Refrain
Every little breeze seems to whisper “Louise”
Birds in the trees seem to twitter “Louise”
Each little rose tells me it knows I love you, love you
Every little beat that I feel in my heart
Seems to repeat, what I felt at the start
Each little sigh tells me that I adore you, Louise
Just to see and hear you
Brings joy I never knew
But to be so near you
Thrills me through and through
Anyone can see why I wanted your kiss
It had to be but the wonder is this
Can it be true, someone like you
Could love me, Louise?

  1. Innocent! You’re as innocent
    And gentle as a dove
    Heaven sent! You were heaven sent
    An angel from above

Refrain
Every little breeze seems to whisper “Louise”
Birds in the trees seem to twitter “Louise”
Each little rose tells me it knows I love you, love you
Every little beat that I feel in my heart
Seems to repeat, what I felt at the start
Each little sigh tells me that I adore you, Louise
Often when I’m gloomy
And in my lonely room
Thoughts of you come to me
Like a sweet perfume
Anyone can see why I wanted your kiss
It had to be but the wonder is this
Can it be true, someone like you
Could love me, Louise?
