Mon Ami, My Friend lyrics
Song information
Artist: Marianne Faithfull Album: 20th Century Blues
Lyrics
My madeleine of paris She'll laugh and dance and sing To cheer the weary soldier At his homecoming
A little room together An hour of love to spend "Comme ça, your arms around me," Oh, mon ami, my friend
But she, how she remembers That other love and joy The first, the best The dearest tired soldier boy
A narrow room alone now Rain on the roof above And he will sleep forever Oh, mon ami, my love
My madeleine of paris She does not sit and grieve But sings away her sorrows To cheer the soldiers' leave
For life is short and funny And love must have an end An hour may be forever Oh, mon ami, my friend
For life is short and funny And love must have an end An hour may be forever Oh, mon ami, my friend
Thank you!
