And I thought that I would meet you on the street
How silly of me it was to think
That my powers could transcend these foreign lands
Now I cry softly solemnly
Imagining a version of myself
Lying in love with my man
And I listen to the song from Amélie
(We met an angel named Sylvie)
(She said Versaille was like a beautiful cage)
On a little music box
(She walked us to the palace)
That I bought down in the gift shop
(She asked my name)
Where I swung that pendulum
(She carried her fruit basket)
Asked it if I should give up
(With a smile on her face)
Definitely
(We met an angel named Sylvie)
It did tell me
(It was the perfect day)
Oh heaven knows how hard I tried
To have the perfect angel vibe
Had all my friends there for the ride
I had a day to shine my light
Now I have nothing left my distant friend
And you're headed to New York just 'cause you can
A few hours from my city
But you'll never even miss me
I let hope go that night I cried
Unlikely dreams consumed my mind
Oh to be yours just for the night
You'll never know
You'll never know
How hard I tried
Nothing gold can stay my dear
That's what people say my dear
Optimism fades my dear
Now my day is gray my dear
I'll play Amélie my dear
Until I fall asleep my dear
But the pain remains my dear
And I'm so afraid
That I'll become dark and loose my light
That led me to dream so big and bright
I let hope go that night I cried
Now you'll never know me
And you'll never know
How hard
I tried
To find you
