My Cherie Amour - Lyrics - George Benson

George Benson is a ten-time Grammy Award-winning American musician and singer-songwriter. He began his professional career at twenty-one, as a jazz guitarist. Benson uses a rest-stroke picking technique similar to that of gypsy jazz players such as Django Reinhardt.

My Cherie Amour, lovely as a summer day My Cherie Amour, distant as the milky way My Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore You’re the only girl my heart leaps for How I wish that you were mine In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street I’ve been near you but you never notice me My Cherie Amour, won’t you tell me how could you ignore That behind this little smile I wore How I wished that you were mine My Cherie Amour, my Cherie Amour Maybe some day you’ll see my face among the crowd Maybe some day you’ll share your little distant cloud Oh, Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore You’re the only girl my heart beats for How I wish that you were mine
