Gigi

Gigi . . . am I a fool without a mind

or have I merely been to blind to realize?

Oh Gigi . . . why you've been growin' up 

before my very eyes! 

 

Gigi . . . you're not at all the funny 

awkward little girl I knew

Oh no, overnight there's been a breathless 

change in you!

 

Gigi . . . why you were tremblin' on the brink 

was I out yonder somewhere blinkin' at a star? 

Oh Gigi . . . have I been standin' up to 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? 

 

< instrumental break >

 

Oh Gigi . . . have I been standin' up to 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?
