Bonsoir Cher
Bud Dashiell
Adapted from "Bonsoir Dame", and as sung by Nancy Ames

In a green wood close to our village
A quiet pool lies still and deep
The evening sounds and forest birds
Have gently lulled my love to sleep

CHORUS:
Bonsoir Cher, Mon homme, Fais dodo
Bonsoir Cher, Mon homme, Fais dodo
Bonsoir Cher, Mon homme, Fais dodo
Bonsoir Cher, Mon homme, Fais dodo

Sing softly birds and don't awake him
He doesn't know how my heart aches
I've never dared to say "I love you"
I'll tell him now, before he wakes

CHORUS

His smiling mouth is warm and tender
As he lies dreaming peacefully
I only wish I knew for certain
That he would someday dream of me

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Fais dodo, mon Amour
Smile for me, dream of me

It seems a pity now to wake him
I'd rather stay here and pretend
That our green wood could last forever
and our dreams would never end

CHORUS
