Lady Raven

(Music by Keith Brown / Lyrics by Roland Maddox)

 

 

Calling Lady Raven, serre moi s’il vous plait,

Wishing I could hold you on this long, summer day,

Now I’m calling Lady Raven, belle ame je t’aime,

Wishing I had known you long ago, far away,

Joli coeur, je t’aime.

 

An enchanting, ravened beauty, an intensely lovely girl

Came unto me out of nowhere, stole my heart, shook my world,

Just one look, a carefree laughter, and a warm engaging style,

Gets whatever she came after, opens doors with her smile.

 

And I’m calling Lady Raven, serre moi s’il vous plait,

Wishing I could hold you on this long, summer day,

Now I’m calling Lady Raven, belle ame je t’aime,

Wishing I had known you long ago, far away,

Joli coeur, je t’aime.

 

Varied facial expressions drifting ‘cross the lady’s face

Pick you up or take you down or put you hard in your place.

Those who seek her affections best beware lest they may find

Just a glance in her direction drives you out of your mind.

 

And I’m calling Lady Raven, serre moi s’il vous plait,

Wishing I could hold you on this long, summer day,

Now I’m calling Lady Raven, belle ame je t’aime,

Wishing I had known you long ago, far away,

Joli coeur, je t’aime.

 

(BRIDGE)

Je t’aime

 

An enchanting ravened beauty, and a very pretty girl

Stole upon me out of nowhere, got my head in a whirl,

If you look hard for the reasons you’ll find no one bears the blame,

She’s a girl for all the seasons and you won’t be the same.

 

You’ll be calling Lady Raven, serre moi s’il vous plait,

Wishing you could hold her on this long, summer day,

And you’re calling Lady Raven, belle ame je t’aime,

Wishing you had known her long ago, far away,

Joli coeur, je t’aime.
