From his driftwood castle
|
Comes a song I've heard before
|
A scratchy gramophone cuts to the bone
|
"La Vie En Rose" arpeggios
|
So the dream begins
|
And the song is amplified
|
Buy the Beaujolais, on Bastille day
|
He dances in the tide
|
|
By the light of the moon
|
He's a Frenchman for the night
|
By the light of the moon
|
It'll be all right
|
|
Well it takes him back
|
To the days of love and war
|
And the girl he knew with eyes of blue
|
Waiting on the shore
|
If he'd only known
|
How the years would fly on by
|
Such a simple crime, he's run out of time
|
So he reaches for the sky
|
|
By the light of the moon
|
He's a Frenchman for the night
|
By the light of the moon
|
It'll be all right
|
|
Blame it on the Champs Elysees
|
Blame it on a tune
|
Blame it on the stroke of Monet
|
But you can't escape the moon
|
|
He sees the stars above
|
As the floor to heavens light
|
While the angels taunt "C'est une nuit blanche"
|
He's a Frenchman for the night
|
|
By the light of the moon
|
He's a Frenchman for the night
|
By the light of the moon
|
It'll be all right
|
|
From a driftwood castle
|
Comes a song I've heard before
|
A scratchy gramophone cuts to the bone
|
"La Vie En Rose" arpeggios
|
