Oh, my dear Camille
Up on an emerald hill
Holding a parasol
Reliving memories
Beyond a distant meadow
Oh, my dear, Camille
Alone on a porch
Pouring tea for one
Wind billows her dress
As another day is done
Oh, my dear Camille
A lonely silhouette
Deep in the night
In an attic window
Laments the morning light
I'm outside your house
With all my love to give
Unlatch the front gate
'cause passion is no sin
Brush aside the past
Open up your heart
The moment is right now
For our time to start
Oh, my dear Camille
Lives her life
On a glass vignette
As years slip by
With each fading sunset
Oh, my dear, Camille
We can be alone
Or together forever
Life's too damn precious
To wait for whenever
Don't keep living on a thin veneer
Call my name and I'll be there
Choose a quiet place for us to meet
On God's creation, down any street
Day or night, the hour's no concern
Trust in me, your love is all I yearn
Don't let my effort be in vain
We'll shatter that stained glass pane
Oh, my dear Camille
Feet in the sand
Stare into the moon
Hold in braided hands
Water lilies in bloom
Oh, my dear Camille
Oh, my dear Camille
Open the gate
Take the love I give
It's not too late
For us to live
Oh, my dear Camille
Oh, my dear Camille
Feet in the sand
Stare into the moon
Hold in braided hands
Water lilies in bloom
Open the gate
Take the love I give
It's not too late
For us to live
Oh, my dear Camille
