Un jeune homme chantait (The Highway) [live au Carnegie Hall 1957]
Every boy sings a song
Down the highway, down the highway
Off the boy who sings a song
And he sings: "This road is my way
For I'm young and I am strong"
All at once, a longer highway
A pretty girl comes into view
She is dreaming of a lover
As a girl is meant to do
Every boy sings a song
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Every girl dreams a dream
Hum hum hum...
So they meet beside the highway
And the world grows very still
Then he sighs: "I love you darling
And I know I always will"
She replies: "Come take this flower
It's my heart I give to you"
With a kiss he takes the flower
As a boy is meant to do
Every boy sings a song
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Every girl dreams a dream
Hum hum hum...
Will they share the long highway?
Will they tell the blazing sun?
Will they find some quiet by-way?
Where the day is nearly done
Oh, will a song, from down the highway
???
While a dream dies by the highway
And the flower fades away
Every boy sings a song
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Every girl dreams a dream
Hum hum hum...
Down the highway, down the highway
Off the boy who sings a song
And he sings: "This road is my way
For I'm young and I am strong"
All at once, a longer highway
A pretty girl comes into view
She is dreaming of a lover
As a girl is meant to do
Every boy sings a song
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Every girl dreams a dream
Hum hum hum...
So they meet beside the highway
And the world grows very still
Then he sighs: "I love you darling
And I know I always will"
She replies: "Come take this flower
It's my heart I give to you"
With a kiss he takes the flower
As a boy is meant to do
Every boy sings a song
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Every girl dreams a dream
Hum hum hum...
Will they share the long highway?
Will they tell the blazing sun?
Will they find some quiet by-way?
Where the day is nearly done
Oh, will a song, from down the highway
???
While a dream dies by the highway
And the flower fades away
Every boy sings a song
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Every girl dreams a dream
Hum hum hum...
