Intro
Now we move on, we move on a bit in time. not much, but a little
We are now in Paris at the end of the second world war
And the allies have come in and liberated Paris and everyone is having a wonderful time
It's full of Americans and English and Russians, and everybody
And there is a woman who during the war was a nurse, now she's a prostitute
I must admit I've always thought there is a connection between these two
They both take care of you really, don't they?
And she's plying her trade and cheering up all the soldiers in Paris
But there, there was a man she loved, really loved
Who's now dead in a far away grave somewhere
And sometimes she can't help but think about him, and then she, she starts to suffer
And then she turns away and pulls herself together and gets on with it
Mon ami, my friend
