Milanese Waltz/Marie Flore |
Marie, Marie Flore was a small girl of ten |
Whom I met in the south end of France. |
Stepping out of the crowd was the daughter |
Of someone with flowers for me, we were friends at a glance. |
She spoke no English but sat by my side in the car |
And pointed out places en route to the village of Arles. |
Marie, Marie Flore came to table that night |
As I dined in an ancient hotel. |
The room was all fitted with things from the seventeenth century |
And they suited her well. |
She would eat nothing but sat in her chair like a queen |
And laughed at my French but seemed always to know what I’d mean. |
Marie, Marie Flore came to hear me that night |
When I sang for the people of Arles. |
She stood back in the shadows of a ruined arena, |
Her frame in my mind was never too far. |
In the rush that did follow I found she was holding my hand |
And ushering me through an evening the elders had planned. |
Marie, Marie Flore, I will always remember |
Your eyes, your smile and your grace. |
The gold that flowed with your laughter remains |
To enlighten the image I have of your face. |
For I have seen children with faces much wiser than time, |
And you, my Marie, are most certainly one of this kind. |
Marie, Marie Flore, all the odds say I see you again |
By plan or by chance. |
But if not you’ll be there when I’m dreaming of rain over Paris |
Or sun on the south end of France. |
Marie, Marie, Marie Flore. |
