| A top flat in bayswater, Rebecca would be doing my hair
|
| We had so much fun she sang all of the words to my song
|
| As it played on the player
|
| She’d give me her bed for the night, she would feed me and clothe me and such
|
| I’d laugh and say, when the light hits that way
|
| You remind me of Shirley Maclaine
|
| When will I see you again
|
| When will we sing silly harmonies into the night?
|
| I try and try but I can’t help missing you
|
| I wonder where you are now
|
| We had us a dream back then, when we got back the things that were stole
|
| We’d have an old fashioned party, an orchestra, long gowns
|
| And we’d be the belles of the ball
|
| And we’d dance to the emperor’s waltz, beacuse that was her favourite song
|
| I’d laugh and say, when the light hits that way
|
| You remind me of Shirley Maclaine
|
| When will I see you again
|
| When will we sing silly harmonies into the night?
|
| I try and try but I can’t help missing you
|
| I wonder where you are now
|
| Are you an angel, have you been reborn?
|
| Did you find your buddha, was it worth all the toil?
|
| I write this 'cause I miss you and
|
| There’s nothing more I can do
|
| When will I see you again
|
| When will we sing silly harmonies into the night?
|
| I try and try but I can’t help missing you
|
| I wonder where you are now
|
| Now the top flat is empty, but our rare old times call from the walls
|
| And I hope that wherever you are you’re alright
|
| And I’ll still have our ball
|
| And we’ll dance to the emperor’s waltz because that was your favourite tune
|
| I’d laugh and say, when the light hits that way
|
| You remind me of Shirley Maclaine
|
| When will I see you again
|
| When will we sing silly harmonies into the night?
|
| I try and try but I can’t help missing you
|
| I wonder where you are now |
