Ginny Come Lately
Albert West Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a couple of days ago.
I only met you
And I want your
Loving so -
Ginny come lately,
Sweet sweet as can be,
You may have come lately,
You're the one for me.
I only had to see
The sunlight in your hair.
Your soft soft silouette
To know I'd always care -
Ginny come lately,
Sweet sweet as can be,
You may have come lately,
But Ginny come lately,
You're the one for me.
You only had to smile,
A little smile,
Nothing more than look at me.
You only had to smile
And in a little while
I was dream-in' recklessly.
I only met you
Just a couple of days ago.
And oh, my love for you
Has no more room to grow
Ginny come lately,
My dream come true.
You may have come lately,
But Ginny come lately,
I'm in love with you.

I still remember that our family had his album and my oldest brother and mom kept playing this song from especially in the morning and evening. It was one of the best albums in our family's song collections.

Als je zo bedenkt heeft hij eigenlijk gewoon goede muziek gemaakt, en hij was nog reuze sympathiek ook. Ik wens zijn familie veel kracht toe.
