Alan Parry - Normandy Lyrics

American town with its American ways
Grew up to tell its children what to think and to say
I met her in town in an American school
It was latter that night we broke American rules

We stayed up till dawn and sang Beatle songs
And dreamed about a world outside where nothing went wrong
Through summer and fall we imagined it all
Still something in your eyes cried out " this town is too small "

Didn't you say you want to go to Normandy ? - Didn't you tell me ?
Didn't you say you like to go to Normandy ? - Didn't you tell me ?
Didn't you say you want to go to Normandy ? - Didn't you tell me ?

Well this is not the life you wanted to have
This is not the life I want you to live with me
This is not the life, why don't we take a trip to Normandy

The beach and the sand where no one is tan
A fantasy you have about this mystical land
They told you in school about its history too
But you just see the beauty, that's the beauty in you

Didn't you say you want to go to Normandy ? - Didn't you tell me ?
Didn't you say you like to go to Normandy ? - Didn't you tell me ?
Didn't you say you want to go to Normandy ? - Didn't you tell me ?

On the Champs Elysees drinking wine through the day
When the evening comes a feeling that I'm hoping will stay
With your American smile and your American style
Didn't you say you'd live in Normandy with me for awhile

Well this could be the life you wanted to have
This could be the life I want you to live with me
This could be the life why don't we take a trip to Normandy
