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 that little smile I wore? How I wish that you were mine
La-la, la, la, la, la La-la, la, la, la, la La-la, la, la, la, la La-la, la, la, la, la
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 La-la, la, la, la, la La-la, la, la, la, la La-la, la, la, la, la
