Red Roses For A Blue Lady Gl

Penny Serenade
- written by Arthur William Halifax and Melle Weersma
- as recorded in New York February 14, 1939 by Guy Lombardo
and His Royal Canadians

Once I strayed 'neath the window of a lovely señorita
And she smiled while I softly played my Penny Serenade

Si, si, si, you can hear it for a penny
Si, si, si, just a Penny Serenade

In her eyes shone the tender dawn of love and sweet surrender
As for me, in my heart I played a lover's serenade

Si, si, si, hear my love song for a penny
Si, si, si, just a Penny Serenade

For that night so divine she was mine, no word had been spoken
When I woke from my dream she was gone, my poor heart was broken

Still I pray that wherever she may be she will remember
In her heart she will always hear my Penny Serenade

Si, si, si, hear my love song for a penny
Si, si, si, just a Penny Serenade
