La Grande Dame is swimming free She is watching over me Servants at her beck and call Lifting her above the squall Breakfast, lunch and tea for two Love was spread amongst the few Sharing clothes and pass me down Running wild across the ground Did you know La Grande Dame? Did you kiss her hand? Life smiled on La Grande Dame La Grande Dame is out of view She is watching over you Waves are breaking on the shore She is there forever more When will I next see her smile? It's been many troubled miles She still lingers by the sea I won't be long, wait for me Did you know La Grande Dame? Did you kiss her hand? Life smiled on La Grande Dame Did you kiss her hand? Life smiled on La Grande Dame
