My Cherie Amour

La la la la la la 
La la la la la la 

My Cherie Amour, lovely as a summer's 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 notice me 
My Cherie Amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore 
That behind that little smile I wore 
How I wish that you were mine 

Maybe someday you'll see my face among the crowd 
Maybe someday I'll 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 

La la la la la la
