Recorded in my childhood home, New Westminster, BC
lyrics
You’re the star of the symphony
playin’ all your songs for me
oh I always used to wonder
what spell I was under and now
for years I’ve been trying to find
a purpose and some peace of mind
but when it comes to looking
under you sure don’t seem to mind
cause’ you believed in me
and I feel so lucky
now I’m part of you
and you’re the most important part of me
can’t you see, Amélie
so when I’m sittin’ under the stars
in a town not so far off
oh I just close my eyes
and I wonder what you might say
I can still hear your voice in my head
sayin’ god John, make your bed
and if the feelings get to much
well I know I can always let go
cause’ you believed in me
and I feel so lucky
now I’m part of you
and you’re the most important part of me
yeah the most important part of me
can’t you see, Amélie
oh Amélie, you blow me away with your sympathy
the way that I always have longed to be
it’s all that I want in the world you see, Amélie
oh Amélie,
you like The Beatles and bad TV
lavender, Marmite and gardening
you give me all that I’ll ever need
you give me all that I’ll ever need
you give me all that I’ll ever need
Amélie.
