La Dame Et Mobile
It was an opera
a tale for singing
I never heard the words
My ears were ringing
On old time radio
There was a Shadow
I tried so hard
To emulate him
I sang
Bells rang
I listened some more
and then
just when
It opened a door
And caught
Enrapt
In music 's enthrall
I sang
and sang
As if at a ball
The magic of the notes
Within a child's mind
echoed on through my years
Until I had to find
A tune to satisfy
My soul so hungry
It's there
I know
It's there on my tongue
The words
I sang
When I was so young
