[00:00.00]	作词 : Hannon
[00:23.00]	Back in the day you had been part of the smart set
[00:28.00]	You'd holidayed with kings, dined out with starlets
[00:34.00]	From London to New York, Cap Ferrat to Capri
[00:39.00]	In perfume by Chanel and clothes by Givenchy
[00:45.00]	You sipped camparis with David and Peter
[00:50.00]	At Noel's parties by Lake Geneva
[00:56.00]	Scaling the dizzy heights of high society
[01:01.00]	Armed only with a cheque-book and a family tree
[01:07.00]
[01:07.00]	You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
[01:12.00]	Until the light of youth became obscured
[01:17.00]	And left you on your own and in the shade
[01:23.00]	An English lady of a certain age
[01:29.00]	And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
[01:34.00]	You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
[01:39.00]	"You wouldn't think that I was seventy"
[01:45.00]	And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!"
[01:52.00]
[01:52.00]	You had to marry someone very very rich
[01:59.00]	So that you might be kept in the style to which
[02:04.00]	You had all of your life been accustomed to
[02:10.00]	But that the socialists had taxed away from you
[02:14.00]	You gave him children, a girl and a boy
[02:20.00]	To keep your sanity a nanny was employed
[02:25.00]
[02:26.00]	And when the time came they were sent away
[02:31.00]	Well that was simply what you did in those days
[02:37.00]
[02:37.00]	You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
[02:42.00]	Until the light of youth became obscured
[02:47.00]	And left you on your own and in the shade
[02:52.00]	An English lady of a certain age
[02:59.00]	And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
[03:04.00]	You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
[03:10.00]	"You wouldn't think that I was sixty three"
[03:15.00]	And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!
[03:24.00]
[03:24.00]	Your son's in stocks and bonds and lives back in Surrey
[03:29.00]	Flies down once in a while and leaves in a hurry
[03:34.00]	Your daughter never finished her finishing school
[03:41.00]	Married a strange young man of whom you don't approve
[03:45.00]	Your husband's hollow heart gave out one Christmas Day
[03:51.00]	He left the villa to his mistress in Marseilles
[03:57.00]	And so you come here to escape your little flat
[04:02.00]	Hoping someone will fill your glass and let you chat about how
[04:07.00]
[04:07.00]	You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
[04:13.00]	Until the light of youth became obscured
[04:18.00]	And left you all alone and in the shade
[04:24.00]	An English lady of a certain age
[04:29.00]	And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
[04:35.00]	You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
[04:40.00]	"You wouldn't think that I was fifty three"
[04:46.00]	And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!
