| Friendly people
|
| But I can’t make out all the words
|
| Melodies so sweet through all the trees
|
| From different birds
|
| All around me Sights and sounds and songs I’ve never heard
|
| Swearing I’ll be back again
|
| One more week might do me in
|
| And I stop to catch my breath
|
| On the slippery steps of Angouleme
|
| And with my little finger
|
| Across the town I write your name
|
| I can’t stop drinking the wine
|
| Can’t stop counting the days
|
| A world apart, an ocean away
|
| Just loving you baby
|
| Sittin' here, loving you
|
| From this little French cafe
|
| Oh, yeah
|
| Turn the bed down, baby
|
| Pray that jumbo plane’s gonna bring me back
|
| Got roses and bazaracs
|
| Six Bordeauxs all in a sack
|
| We may know some scrapes
|
| But some things we won’t ever lack
|
| All the fields of Beaujolais
|
| Couldn’t buy you anyway
|
| Couldn’t buy you babe
|
| Oh And I stop to catch my breath
|
| On the mighty steps of Angouleme
|
| And with my little finger
|
| Across the town I write your name
|
| I can’t stop drinking the wine
|
| I can’t stop counting the days
|
| A world apart, an ocean away
|
| Just loving you baby
|
| Sittin' here, loving you
|
| From this little French
|
| All the oysters in Marennes
|
| Whole French army and Charles de Gaulle
|
| A million Francs wouldn’t phase me at all
|
| From loving you baby
|
| Sittin' here loving you
|
| From this little French cafe
|
| Sittin' here loving you
|
| From this little French cafe |
