Jolie Girl lyrics

Oh, we walked the streets of Greenwich Village

Holdin' hands like school kids in the summer August sun

Smilin' at the passing strangers on their way

And wishin' the end would never come

Then a flower lady sold me one red rose to give you

For your chestnut hair, just to make it shine

Then I held you close to me, and I whispered

Jolie girl, when will you be mine?

Then we stepped up to the first stand on the corner

For some coconut champagne

And a taxi driver cussed us, 'cause a blind man got his tip

And tapped "thank you" with his cane

And we ducked out of the rain into a dusty little shop

That traded books and fluffy hats, rings, and beads

Then I held you close to me, and I whispered

Jolie girl, you're all I need

Aw, Jolie girl, please don't ask me how long I'll be stayin'

You'll just damn the simple dreams that we could share

Tomorrow is just another day, I may be far away

Jolie girl, I might be anywhere

So let's spread our blanket in the park and hold each other close

The night is comin' on and soon we'll have to go

But remember, Jolie girl, oh remember

Jolie girl, I love you so
