A4 - Joli Girl - Bill Staines - 1979 The Whistle Of The Jay album

   • 1979 Whistle Of The Jay - Bill Staines   Joli Girl 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 And a flower lady sold me one red rose to give you For your chestnut hair, just to make it shine And I gently held you to me, whispered Joli girl, Joli girl, will you be mine Then we stopped in to the fruit stand on the corner For some coconut champagne And a taxi driver cussed us, 'cause a blind man got his tip And tapped a "thank you" with his cane And we ducked out of the rain into this tiny little shop That traded books and floppy hats for rings and beads And I gently held you to me, whispered Joli girl, Joli girl, you're all I need Oh, Joli girl, please don't ask me how long I'll be stayin' You'll just end a simple dream we both can share Tomorrow is another day, and I'll be far, so far away Oh Joli girl, I may be anywhere So let's spread our blankets in the park and hold each other close The dark is coming on and soon we'll have to go But always remember Joli girl, Joli girl, I love you so So let's spread our blanket in the park and hold each other close The dark is coming on and soon we'll have to go But always remember Joli girl, Joli girl, I love you so And always remember Joli girl, Joli girl, I love you so https://www.songlyrics.com/bill-stain...
