The Genie

I passed a little shop
And there I had to stop
Inside the window was a tarnish lamp of gold
Bought it, took it home
And when I got alone
Rubbed it like the story I'd been told so long ago

Genie, Genie grant to me
Just one wish and that should be
I hold her love instead of misery
Genie, Genie don’t you know
Love must have a time to grow
One wish can't make it last forevermore

So it came to be
She fell in love with me
But it didn't really work out too pеrfectly
The geniе had been kind
But in too little time
He’d given love that came to us too easily

Genie, Genie grant to me
Just one wish and that should be
I hold her love instead of misery
Genie, Genie don't you know
Love must have a time to grow
One wish can't make it last forevermore

Now the lamp stands by itself
An ornament upon its shelf
Holding up some books, I've never read them
And though the Genie stands alone
I got her love back on my own
I'll never need the Genie's help again

Genie, Genie grant to me
Just one wish and that should be
I hold her love instead of misery
Genie, Genie don't you know
Love must have a time to grow
One wish can't make it last forevermore
