Cyrano deBerger's Back

(album: ALPHABETLAND - 2020)

I got a couple of words to say
For all you strong and silent types
Who don't talk to the girls they want to love
Though it means their life
I'll say this next time you get stuck
And the words won't come
"Your eyes are blue as coals that burn
In your black corsage"

I'll talk for you
Under the balcony in blue
I'll talk for you
I'll talk for you
'Cause Cyrano deBerger's back

I'm gonna listen carefully
To hear what our Roxanne is gonna say
And though I love her twenty times more
I would never say
"I should be the rouge and the color on your cheeks"
Instead I just make you look good
And be so discreet

I got ten arms for you
Ten hearts all beating blue
This ain't a lie
This ain't behind
Cyrano deBerger's back

I got ten arms for you
Under the balcony in blue
This ain't a lie
This ain't behind
Cyrano deBerger's back
