Lyrics
MERCI BEAU COUP
You were a sexy hunk-a-manhood, with a Frenchified name,
To you love was nothing but a marvelous game,
You came into my life, you left your mark,
The memories you gave me, were more than a spark,
You got on that jet plane, out of my life you flew,
You never heard me whisper, "merci beau coup",
(chorus)
Merci beau coup. merci beau coup,
Thanks for the memories, so precious and few,
I'm a much better person for loving you,
Merci beau coup, my darling, merci beau coup,
For one glorious week, we romped in the sun,
I was falling in love, you were having fun,
You leaned over and kissed me, you heaved a big sigh,
It was then that I realized, you were saying good-bye,
You got on that jet plane, out of my life you flew,
You never heard me whisper, "merci beau coup",
In the quiet of the evening, when day is nearly done,
I see a jet trail shim'ring, in the setting sun,
As my thoughts get lost, in the mem'ry of you,
I look up and whisper, "merci beau coup",
(chorus)
Merci beau coup, merci beau coup,
Thanks for the memories so precious and few,
I'm a much better person, for loving you,
Merci beau coup my, my darling, merci beau coup,
(tag)
If ever you should hear this song, I'm singing for you,
Merci beau coup, my darling, merci beau coup,
(repeat chorus)
