Al Stewart - Josephine Baker Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I was watching TV late last night
  • And a scene transported me
  • Long gone figures came back to life
  • In a documentary
  • Though I saw them dance for joy
  • I was sad I missed that show
  • If I had a time machine
  • I know just where I'd go
  • CHORUS
  • I was born too late to see Josephine Baker
  • Dancing in a Paris cabaret
  • Born too late to see Josephine Baker
  • She must have been great in her heyday
  • Now some they stand out from a crowd
  • Even at an early age
  • I suppose that her call was loud
  • 'Cause she just lit up the stage
  • You can put on all that gloss
  • And still not have to feel
  • What's inside will come across
  • And only real is real
  • CHORUS
  • I'm sometimes trapped by the close confines
  • Of the age I'm born into
  • Though there were others worse than mine
  • Well I miss what I can't do
  • Join the feast of Ancient Greece
  • See Alexander's Library
  • Maybe clink a champagne toast
  • With a jazz age dancing queen
  • CHORUS
  • In black and white film you can't mistake her
  • She must have been great in her heyday
