Cheri
California Grace, within an Angel's Face
That is the Portrait of you I see
Westward bound to retrieve a gift we found
At the Chatter Box Tavern by the Sea
With Cheri, in 1983

Cheri, It's Me, I remember the tree
Underneath Bear Mountain's Canopy
Where we once made Love, that is easily enough
To remain my favorite Memory
with Cheri, in 1983

So Go Now, Return to Somehow
Where I Loved You and You once Loved Me
Where I Loved You and Always would be
With Cheri, in 1983
With Cheri, in 1983

Thank You Walt, for lending me the Jewel
Of every Disney Heroine You Drew

Now the Years have been kind to a couple left behind
Like a Springsteen Song in a Sadder Key
For it's here that we belong, between the Distance and the Song
Remnants of a Time that would not be
Like Cheri, in 1983

So Go Now, Return to Somehow
Where I Loved You and You once Loved Me
Where I Loved You and Always will be
With Cheri, in 1983
With You Cheri, in 1983
