Maurice
Chevalier
David Brown
It felt like someone else’s shoe
When my Stormrider was new
Now it knows every inch of my back
And takes my shape when it’s on the rack
Spoons always know the same tunes
When the highway is straight
and flat
You see what’s coming and you get there fast
Thrilling curves, dips and rises
Hold many more surprises
Hold tight for the ride of your life
Out of the way Chevalier
I’ve found something true
He thanked heaven for little girls
But I thank God for you
We all start with an empty canvas
And paint a picture with the things life hands us
But it takes forty years at least
To make a masterpiece
Touched by the brush of genius
Out of the way Chevalier
I’ve found something true
He thanked heaven for little girls
But I thank God for you
Summer slips slowly into fall
The fruit is ripe and full
Harvest’s in and geese are winging
There’s a sense of a new beginning
The twilight could be the highlight
Out of the way Chevalier
I’ve found something true
He thanked heaven for little girls
But I thank God for you |
