[Lyric] The Different Albertines (My Life With Albertine)

[NARRATOR]
Albertine...
Albertine...
A silhouette against the sea
And ev'ry time I look
I see a diff'rent Albertine, Albertine

A girl in Balbec with plump cheeks
She boldly stares from those stairs
Where the street and beach meet

A silhouette against the sea
And ev'ry time I look
I see a diff'rent Albertine, Albertine

A girl with red hair and beauty spot upon chin
And a thin ringing laugh
Like cooing doves making love

A silhouette against the sea
And ev'ry time I look
I see a diff'rent Albertine
Her hands strain out a leash for hounds
Or lazily pausing lost in dreams
Then suddenly stretching out

Oh Albertine
Oh Albertine
Oh Albertine

[NARRATOR AND MARCEL]
A silhouette against the sea
And ev'ry time I look
I see a diff'rent...

[MAID, spoken]
Mademoiselle Albertine is here

[MARCEL]
Oh Albertine

[NARRATOR]
Each time I look I see a diff'rent you
