[Chorus]
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
La-la-la
[Verse 1]
My cherie amour, lovely as a summer day (Ooh)
Ooh, cherie amour, distant as the Milky Way (Ooh)
Ooh, cherie amour (Cherie amour)
Lovely little girl that I adore (Cherie amour)
You're the only one my heart beats for (Ooh)
How I wish that you were mine
[Verse 2]
In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street (Ooh)
I've been so near you (Ooh), but you (Ooh) never noticed me
Hey, cherie amour (Cherie amour)
Won't you tell me how could you ignore (Cherie amour, cherie amour)
The look of love behind the smile I wore (Cherie amour)
How I wish that you were mine, cherie

(La-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la)
[Verse 3]
Maybe someday, you'll see my face among the crowd
And maybe someday (Ooh), I'll meet you on your distant cloud (Ooh)
Ooh, cherie amour (Cherie amour)
Lovely little girl that I adore (Cherie amour, cherie amour)
You're the only one my heart beats for (Cherie amour, ooh)
How I wish that you were mine, cherie
[Chorus]
