Lyric Intro

Now we move on, we move on a bit in time. Not much, but a little. We are now in Paris at the end of the Second World War, and the allies have come in and liberated Paris and everyone is having a wonderful time. It s full of Americans and English and Russians, and everybody. And there is a woman who during the war was a nurse, now she s a prostitute. I must admit I ve always thought there is a connection between these two. They both take care of you really, don t they ? And she s plying her trade and cheering up all the soldiers in Paris. But there, there was a man she loved, really loved, who s now dead in a far away grave somewhere. And sometimes she can t help but think about him, and then she, she starts to suffer. And then she turns away and pulls herself together and gets on with it. Mon Ami, My Friend.
