Lyrics
Always I’ll recall the night
My heart began to stir
Gazing at you all the night
I wondered who you were
It was all I could do to keep from gazing at you, too
So, I’ve come to see again the one
With whom I’d be again
Oh! smile your smile at me again
Please do
Refrain
Beautiful Gypsy, Beautiful Gypsy
What’s a man to do
When he’s always dreaming of your blue eyes?
Couldn’t forget you once I met you
Sought you ev’rywhere
Hither, thither, yonder, here and there
Ev’ry sweet smile, ev’ry movement sets me aglow
And in my dreams how much you meant
You’ll never know
Beautiful Gypsy, driving me tipsy
Read my hand and see
If my little Gypsy girl loves me
