She's not sophisticated like most other woman are, but then what do sophisticated women have to offer? Nothing. (Maurice Chevalier) "Ah, well, she's a wonderful girl, Gigi.Did you have to change the arrangements?" (Maurice Chevalier) "Did she send a note?".It could be about any one of those little girls playing there. (Maurice Chevalier) "This story is about a little girl.(Maurice Chevalier) "Those Russian songs.".(Maurice Chevalier) "That brilliant sky.".(Hermione Gingold) "It warms my heart to know / you remember still the way you do.".(Maurice Chevalier) "That's right, that's right -".(Hermione Gingold) "There was none that night, / and the month was June.".(Maurice Chevalier) "That dazzling April moon.".How lovely to sit here in the shade / with none of the woes of man and maid / I'm glad I'm not young anymore - The rivals that don't exist at all / The feeling you're only two feet tall / I'm glad that I'm not young anymore - / No more confusion / No morning-after surprise / No self-delusion / That when you're telling those lies / she isn't wise / And even if love comes through the door / the chance that goes on forevermore / Forevermore is shorter than before / Oh, I'm so glad that I'm not young anymore - / The tiny remark that tortures you / The fear that your friends won't like her too / I'm glad I'm not young anymore - / The longing to end the stale affair / until you find out she doesn't care / I'm glad I'm not young anymore - / No more frustration / No star-crossed lover am I / No aggravation / Just one reluctant reply / "Lady, goodbye."
