Mon Ami, My Friend
Kurt Weill, Paul Green
[NURSE]
My Madeleine of Paris
She'll laugh and dance and sing
To cheer the weary soldier
At his homecoming
A little room together
An hour of love to spend
Comme ça, your arm around me
Oh, mon ami, my friend
But she—ah—she remembers
That other love and joy
The first, the best
The dearest tired soldier boy
A narrow room alone now
Rain on the roof above
And he will sleep forever
Oh, mon ami, my love
My Madeleine of Paris
She does not sit and grieve
But sings away her sorrows
To cheer the soldier's leave
For life is short and funny
And love must have an end
An hour may be forever
Oh, mon ami, my friend
For life is short and funny
And love must have an end
An hour may be forever
Oh, mon ami, my friend
[Spoken]
Thank you!
