Best Song Lyric


Gigi
There’s sweeter music when she speaks, Isn’t there?
A diff’rent bloom about her cheeks, Isn’t there?
Could I be wrong? Could it be so?
Oh where, oh where did Gigi go?

Gigi,
Am I a fool without a mind or have I merely been too blind to realize?
Oh Gigi,
Why you’ve been growing up before my eyes!

Gigi,
You’re not at all that funny, awkward little girl I knew.
Oh no!
Over night there’s been a breathless change in you.

Oh, Gigi,
While you were trembling on the brink,
Was I out yonder somewhere blinking at a star?
Oh, Gigi,
Have I been standing up too close or back too far?

When did your sparkle turn to fire
And your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle has made you the way you are?

Gigi,
Am I a fool without a mind or have I merely been too blind to realize?
Oh Gigi,
Why you’ve been growing up before my eyes!

Gigi,
You’re not at all that funny, awkward little girl I knew,
Oh no!
I was mad not to have seen the change in you!

Oh, Gigi,
While you were trembling on the brink,
Was I out yonder somewhere blinking at a star?
Oh, Gigi,
Have I been standing up too close or back too far?

When did your sparkle turn to fire
And your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle has made you the way you are?
