Louise
Leonard Joy & Maurice Chevalier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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?

I heard this for the first time when I was a kid, and for decades after that I thought he sang "Every little breeze seems to whisper and wheeze".

He was charm personified.His appeal was irresistible to America,and he conquered us with just a phrase and a smile.

yes and the other thing is that a French person speaking/singing in English can be very magnetic to American ears. His voice had a tonal quality that was, as you say, irresistible,

my Mum's called Louise, when she's tired and back from work. I sing it to her to wind her up. She finds it more funny tho, always puts a smile on her and my face.

I first heard of this song in the book Angela's Ashes. The main character's mother often singsa verse when she's working.
