Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My cherie amour
Free as a summer day
My cherie amour
As soft as a milky way
[Verse 2]
My cherie amour
Pretty little woman that I adore
You're the only one my heart lives for
I wish that you were mine
[Verse 3]
Ooh, I see you, you
Oh, I see you, you
[Verse 4]
My cherie amour
Won't you tell me how you cool it down?
Left behind that smile I want
How I wish that you were mine
[Verse 5]
La, la (La, la)
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la-na
[Verse 6]
Cherie, cherie, cherie, my cherie amour
My cherie amour
Love ya
[Verse 7]
Cherie, cherie, cherie, my cherie amour
You're the one my heart is for
Love ya, love ya
[Verse 8]
Love you, yes, I do, really do
You know I do, fool for ya
Love ya, love ya
And I wish like hell that you were mine
Wish like hell that you were mine, oh
[Verse 9]
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la-na
[Verse 10]
And maybe some day
I'll share your little distant cloud
My cherie amour
Pretty little one that I adore
You're the one my heart lives for
You're the only one that, you're the only one
How I wish that you were mine
[Verse 11]
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la-na
