“How sad Venice can be”…especially with Charles Aznavour there
Although sombre he may be, but at least he’s not square!
and there is a kind of sarcastic humour hidden behind the sad facade
a small and yet not dangerous man! To like him wouldn’t be hard
He once serenaded “Miss Piggy” on “The Muppet Show”
When I played his greatest hits, I felt inside a warm glow (like Ready Brek!)
Charles Aznavour, Charles Aznavour
Your lyrics mean so much more
than any ballad singer I’ve heard before
Maybe in another time
your songs would’ve seemed sublime
But in this overly cynical teen obsessed market…they’re seen as a crime
Charles,when you bow out with your “Swan Song”
It may be at least 6 minutes long
Like the classic “No, I Could Never Forget”
and “What Makes A Man?” is your best yet
You’ve been around for “Donkey’s Years”
I listened to “I Drink” and I cried real tears
as you poured your heart out about your private fears
But Charles, would it be of me so wrong
If I begged you to write a happy song
Just this once, Charles!
