Ste Anne de Bellevue

Written by John P. McLaughlin

From the Album: Just a Little Rain

[1]

Ste Anne de Bellevue, Ste Anne de Bellevue
I lived long ago in Ste Anne de Bellevue
Old houses of stone beneath scotch pine and birch
Nestled like toys ’round an old parish church
Where the snow falls like cotten the long evening through
And lays quiet as sleep in Ste Anne de Bellevue

Ste Anne de Bellevue, Ste Anne de Bellevue
I kissed a boy in Ste Anne de Bellevue
We were just cousins behind the coats
By a hot radiator where the wet mittens smoked
He gave me his brown eyes and said I love you
And the world stopped right there in Ste Anne de Bellevue

Ste Anne de Bellevue, Ste Anne de Bellevue
One April I left my Ste Anne de Bellevue
There was sand in the streets and the lilac was out
And I went off to find I’ve forgotten what now
But if you ever go back, please remember me to
The girl I once was and Ste Anne de Bellevue

Ste Anne de Bellevue, Ste Anne de Bellevue
I lived long ago in Ste Anne de Bellevue
Old houses of stone beneath scotch pine and birch
Nestled like toys ’round an old fashioned church
And if you ever go back, please remember me to
The girl I once was and Ste Anne de Bellevue
