Lyrics
There’s sweeter music when she speaks, isn’t there?
A diff’rent bloom about her cheeks, isn’t there?
Could I be wrong? Could it be so?
Oh where, oh where did Gigi go?
Refrain
Gigi, am I a fool without a mind
Or have I merely been too blind to realize?
Oh Gigi, why you’ve been growing up before my eyes
Gigi, you’re not at all that funny
Awkward little girl I knew, Oh no!
Overnight there’s been a breathless change in you
Oh, Gigi, while you were trembling on the brink
Was I out yonder somewhere blinking at a star?
Oh, Gigi, have I been standing up too close or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire
And your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle has made you the way you are?
Gigi, am I a fool without a mind
Or have I merely been to blind to realize?
Oh Gigi, why you’ve been growing up before my eyes
Gigi, you’re not at all that funny
Awkward little girl I knew, Oh no!
I was mad not to have seen the change in you
Oh, Gigi, while you were trembling on the brink
Was I out yonder somewhere blinking at a star?
Oh, Gigi, have I been standing up too close or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire
And your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle has made you the way you are?
