Chevalier's enormous charm and personal magnetism soon made the Frenchman a star with American audiences after his arrival in Hollywood.
\"Louise\" was a show-stopping number from the 1929 film, \"The Innocents of Paris\"...Paramount's first musical.
LOUISE
(Words by Leo Robin
Music by Richard A. Whiting)
Wonderful! Oh, it's wonderful
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
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.
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?
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.
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?
