My Cherie Amour - Lyrics

My Cherie Amour
Lovely as a summer day
My Cherie Amour
Distant as the Milky Way
My Cherie Amour
Pretty little one that I adore
You’re the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I’ve been near you
But you never noticed me
My Cherie Amour
Won’t you tell me how could you ignore
That behind the little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine

My Cherie Amour
My Cherie Amour

Maybe someday you see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday you share your little distant cloud
Oh, Cherie Amour
Pretty little one that I adore
You’re the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine
