Van Morrison - Bonaparte's Retreat lyrics

Met the girl I love in a town way down in Dixie
Beneath the stars up above, she was the sweetest thing I ever did meet
Then took her in my arms
And told her of her many charms
I kissed her while the guitars played The Bonaparte's Retreat

All the world was bright
When I held her on that night
And I heard her say, "Please, don't you go away."

And then took her in my arms
And told her of her many charms
I kissed her while the big band played The Bonaparte's Retreat

Then I took her in my arms
And told her of her many charms
And I kissed her while the big band played The Bonaparte's Retreat

All the world was bright
I held her on that night
And I heard her say, "Please, don't you go away."

And then took her in my arms
And told her of her many charms
And I kissed her while the big band played The Bonaparte's Retreat

Then took her in my arms
And told her of her many charms
I kissed her while the big band played The Bonaparte's Retreat

The Bonaparte's Retreat
The Bonaparte's Retreat
The Bonaparte's Retreat
Here we go
The Bonaparte's Retreat
