Lyrics

Sweet Cheri

I remember you, Cheri
You laughed at all my poetry
But you liked my sense of tragedy
Oh I remember sweet Cheri

You had a spirit that was strange and wild
Your Dad was rich but you were nature?s child
I only knew you for a while
And that was years ago, sweet Cheri

chorus1
I wanted a princess or a queen
and for me you fell somewhere in between
We both knew you weren?t the one for me
But you still loved me, still you loved me, sweet Cheri

And when I started writing songs
I played my tapes and you?d sing along
And you?d laugh when you got the words all wrong
You?d laugh with your whole heart, sweet Cheri

After a while we were just friends
We shared our broken hearts when they were on the mend
You?d talk about the places that you?d been
Oh it?s been years since then, sweet Cheri


chorus2
Through the years some dark nights of my soul
Had me thinking of the way you cared for me
You loved without agendas, without goals
Oh what became of you, what became of you sweet Cheri?


You moved away I can?t remember where
You came back once in need of some repairs
I hope you still alive out there / somewhere
Thank you for loving me,
Thank you for loving me,
sweet Cheri
