Geisha Girl Lyrics

(Lawton Williams)

Have you ever heard a love song
That you didn't understand?
Well, you've met her in a teahouse
On the island of Japan

And have you ever traveled
Over a many thousand miles
To see a pretty geisha girl
Dressed in oriental style?

They read it in the tea leaves
And it's written in the sand
I found love by the heartful
In the foreign, distant land.

Tell the homefolks that I'm happy
With someone that's true I know
I love a pretty geisha girl
Where the ocean breezes blow.

I have stood and watched the sunrise
From the waters of the sea
And wondered how much beauty
In this whole world can there be.

My dreams are all worth dreaming
And it makes my life worth while
To see my pretty geisha girl
Dressed in oriental style.

They read it in the tea leaves
And it's written in the sand
I found love by the heartful
In the foreign, distant land.

Tell the homefolks that I'm happy
With someone that's true I know
I love a pretty geisha girl
Where the ocean breezes blow.
