Tour de France lyrics

[AMÉLIE]

Sir, may I lend a hand?

May I take your cane?

Careful of the curb, here we go!

Put away your cup

Turning down the lane

Listen to the squeak of the bakery cart

Leaving a trail of breadcrumbs

Do you hear the laugh coming from the priest?

He has crinkly eyes!

Looking through the glass focused on the feast in the grocery window!

There is a display that is three melon slices deep

As children walk out the door holding sweet lemon ices!

[AMÉLIE & BLIND BEGGAR]

Sweet lemon ices!

[BLIND BEGGAR]

What was that?

[AMÉLIE]

An envelope opens

A cat in a hallway

A filament flashes, flickers, and dies

And there goes a hat

[AMÉLIE & BLIND BEGGAR]

Thrown in the air!

[AMÉLIE, BLIND BEGGAR, & COMPANY]

Thrown in the air!

[AMÉLIE & BLIND BEGGAR]

I can feel every stranger in Paris just waiting to collide

How a heart can crow like a moon as we circle each other

Then crashing together!

We end up open wide!

[AMÉLIE]

Here where the bus has stopped you can find a kiosk under staples and glue!

Now the barber shop, now the laundromat, now we're at the metro, Adieu!

[BLIND BEGGAR, spoken]

Wait! Tell me your name!

[AMÉLIE, spoken]

Goodbye!

[BLIND BEGGAR, spoken]

Goodbye! Thank you!

[AMÉLIE]

I can see everything clearly now

From here!
