Another classic from Africa - Baaba Maal Cherie from the 1998 album A Nomad Soul
Cherie Lyrics
Like the moon moves the tides
You influence my mind
Like the planets and the stars
Keep the rhythm to your time
Are you happy with him
Yes, I'll let you go
Girl, I love you
Cherie, I love you so
Girl, I love you
I was a fool to let you go
Like the alchemist
Who couldn't resist the devil's kiss
Base metal into gold
And the psychiatrist
Who's battling deep within his own soul
I was like them down the hole
Girl, I love you
Cherie, I love you so
Girl, I love you
I was a fool to let you go
All the memories of our life
Like Venice in the spring
New York City summers
Paris, London winters' chill
Girl, I love you
Girl, I love you so
Cherie, I love you
I was a fool to let you go
I love you so
Want you to know
I love you so
As the apples fall, the leaves turn
Make it to autumn's call
But you still know your way
Never be outdone at all
And if I falter, I see it in our child
Girl, I love you
Cherie, I love you so
Girl, I love you
No, I won't let go
Girl, I love you
Cherie, I love you so
Girl, I love you
No, I can't let go
Girl, I need your sunshine to feel alright
Girl, I need your sunshine to feel alright
Girl, I need your sunshine to feel alright
Girl, I need your sunshine to feel alright
Girl, I love you
Cherie, I love you so
Girl, I love you
No, I won't let go
Girl, I love you
No, I won't let go
Girl, I love you
Cherie, I love you so
Girl, I love you
Cherie, I love you so
Girl, I love you
Cherie, I love you so
Girl, I love you
Cherie, I love you so
Girl, I love you
Cherie, I love you so
Girl, I love you
Cherie, I love you so
