My Cherie Amour

(album: For Once In My Life: A Celebration Of Motown - 2021)

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

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

Maybe someday, you'll see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday, I'll share your little distant cloud
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

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
