[Verse 1]

I sit and I wait for your call
I know I'm a fool, but what can I say?

[Chorus 1]
Suite Madame Blue

[Bridge]
America, America, America, America
America, America, America, America
America, America, America, America
America, America, America, America
America, America, America, America
America, America, America, America
[Chorus 2]
Red, white, and blue
Gaze in your looking glass
You're not a child anymore
Red, white, and blue
The future is all but past
So lift up your heart
And make a new start
And lead us away from here
