My Cherie Amour - Nnenna Freelon

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 leaps 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

Back behind this little smile I wore

How I wished that you were mine

Maybe some day you’ll see my face among the crowd

Maybe some day you’ll share your little distant cloud

Oh cherie amour pretty little one that I adore

You’re the only girl my heart leaps for

How I wish that you were mine

Oh cherie amour pretty little one that I adore

You’re the only girl my heart leaps for

How I wish that you were mine
