Louise
Chevalier Maurice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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 from 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?


Innocent! You're so innocent
And gentle as a dove.
Heaven sent! You were heaven sent,
An angel from above.

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 from 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?

@louisedawson9641

I've had this sung to me many times over the years working with my elderly patients. Lovely words Maurice

@fellon8019

Strange but I have started to sing this song recently to my wife. She in sick with alhziemers and it is close to the end for her. This maybe the last song she will hear.

She is my sweetheart.

@donovandowie2464

Maurice Chevalier sang this at my primary school in Jamaica in the early 1960s. I can still remember and he was old but still the Frenchman. This was from a movie that was made one year before my mother was born....fascinating.

@Celluloidwatcher

The definitive Maurice Chevalier song. Louise will always be, in my opinion, the tune that people link Chevalier with. What a sweet song.

@weswolever7477

Any time I need my spirits lifted, Maurice never lets me down:)

@Loui3535

My Dad used to sing this to me when I was a little girl and when I got older. It made me feel special.

@CCNuck

I have been singing the chorus of this song my entire life, and I'm in my 20s. Apparently my great-great grandmother liked the song, and sang it to her grandma, who sang it to me.
