๐ Lyrics
We have loved a sweet, sweet child
We have loved the way he smiled
The way that it lit up his gentle face
Such a child of grace
Took him back to Alice Springs
Where we had somebody sing
But no one there would tell us
Where he came from
Now his father's home
Louis, Louis St. John
You and me, you and me
Go on and on and on
Because your spirit never dies
Because you opened up our eyes
Louis, Louis St. John
A young black man once walked these streets
On the better side of town
He always dressed up nice and neat
And others dressed him down
See, we don't want your kind 'round here
Your kind are no good
But no one there would lend an ear
This was his neighborhood
Scarborough seemed pretty fair
You'd always see him standing there
Eating pizza nice and hot
Outside Happy Grannies shop
With no one keeping score
But it's not happy at Grannies anymore
Not like it was before
Louis, Louis St. John
You and me, you and me
Go on and on and on
Because your spirit never dies
Because you opened up our eyes
Louis, Louis St. John
Oh, sweet child of the earth
Back in the land of your birth
Among the stars and the Milky Way
Now we understand the things you try to say
Louis, Louis St. John
If you could only understand
If you could only take my hand
If you could only see the beauty in me
We have loved the way he smiled
The way that it lit up his gentle face
Such a child of grace
Took him back to Alice Springs
Where we had somebody sing
But no one there would tell us
Where he came from
Now his father's home
Louis, Louis St. John
You and me, you and me
Go on and on and on
Because your spirit never dies
Because you opened up our eyes
Louis, Louis St. John
A young black man once walked these streets
On the better side of town
He always dressed up nice and neat
And others dressed him down
See, we don't want your kind 'round here
Your kind are no good
But no one there would lend an ear
This was his neighborhood
Scarborough seemed pretty fair
You'd always see him standing there
Eating pizza nice and hot
Outside Happy Grannies shop
With no one keeping score
But it's not happy at Grannies anymore
Not like it was before
Louis, Louis St. John
You and me, you and me
Go on and on and on
Because your spirit never dies
Because you opened up our eyes
Louis, Louis St. John
Oh, sweet child of the earth
Back in the land of your birth
Among the stars and the Milky Way
Now we understand the things you try to say
Louis, Louis St. John
If you could only understand
If you could only take my hand
If you could only see the beauty in me
