Josephine Baker (Live) - Al Stewart[00:00:02]
I was watching TV late last night[00:00:14]
And a scene transported me[00:00:18]
Long gone figures came back to life[00:00:21]
In a documentary[00:00:24]
Though I saw them dance for joy[00:00:28]
I was sad I missed that show[00:00:30]
If I had a time machine[00:00:34]
I know just where I'd go[00:00:37]
I was born too late to see Josephine Baker[00:00:42]
Dancing in a Paris cabaret[00:00:45]
Born too late to see Josephine Baker[00:00:49]
She must have been great in her heyday[00:00:51]
Now some they stand out from a crowd[00:01:08]
Even at an early age[00:01:10]
I believe that her call was loud[00:01:14]
'Cause she just lit up the stage[00:01:16]
You can put on all that gloss[00:01:20]
And still not have to feel[00:01:23]
What's inside will come across[00:01:26]
And only real is real[00:01:29]
I was born too late to see Josephine Baker[00:01:34]
Dancing in a Paris cabaret[00:01:37]
Born too late to see Josephine Baker[00:01:40]
She must have been great in her heyday[00:01:43]
I'm sometimes trapped by the close confines[00:02:24]
Of the age I'm born into[00:02:27]
Though there were others worse than mine[00:02:30]
Well I miss what I can't do[00:02:33]
Join the feast of Ancient Greece[00:02:37]
See Alexander's Library[00:02:39]
Maybe clink a champagne toast[00:02:43]
With a jazz age dancing queen[00:02:46]
I was born too late to see Josephine Baker[00:02:50]
Dancing in a Paris cabaret[00:02:54]
Born too late to see Josephine Baker[00:02:57]
Dancing in a Paris cabaret[00:03:00]
In black and white film you can't mistake her[00:03:03]
She must have been great in her heyday[00:03:06]
