Switzerland

Lori Lieberman

To and from my Switzerland
Pleated skirt and heart in hand
Never knowing where I stand
The middle child, the family plan
The airplane lands and lands and lands
In Switzerland

Dearest picture on the wall
They said we won’t be here for long
I guess I knew it all along
Another spring, another fall
And Mama says I’m growing tall
In Switzerland

Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me

Oui, c’est une Américaine, Américaine, o oui
Oui, c’est une Américaine, Américaine, o oui
O Oui, c’est une Américaine, Américaine, o oui

My sisters always left by chance
Germany, the South of France
But how was I to understand
Their sad good-byes without a glance
They blew a kiss and waved their hand
To Switzerland

Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me

Oui, c’est une Américaine, Américaine, o oui
Oui, c’est une Américaine, Américaine, o oui
O Oui, c’est une Américaine, Américaine, o oui
