Mon Ami, My Friend

[NURSE] My Madeleine of Paris She'll laugh and dance and sing To cheer the weary soldier At his homecoming A little room together An hour of love to spend Comme ça, your arm around me Oh, mon ami, my friend But she—ah—she remembers That other love and joy The first, the best The dearest tired soldier boy A narrow room alone now Rain on the roof above And he will sleep forever Oh, mon ami, my love My Madeleine of Paris She does not sit and grieve But sings away her sorrows To cheer the soldier's leave For life is short and funny And love must have an end An hour may be forever Oh, mon ami, my friend For life is short and funny And love must have an end An hour may be forever Oh, mon ami, my friend [Spoken] Thank you!
