David LaMotte - Dans La Louisiane lyrics

Down in south Louisiana the moonlight grows on trees It blows down in the autumn and it washes out to sea It dances on the waves there like a distant memory Dans la Louisiane I had played my songs and packed my gear and still I felt all right So I parked down by the water and I wandered through the night Where the streetsigns all speak Friench beneath the shimmering streetlights Dans la Louisiane And the moon it shone so brightly I couldn't find a star And the music flowed like sunshine from the fiddle and guitar But the light that glowed within us was the warmest light by far Je dois dire que je vous aime bien So I'm writing down this simple song with nothing much to say Except I'm thankful for the music and the privilege to play But most of all I'm grateful just to get to spend this day Dans la Louisiane And the moon it shone so brightly I couldn't find a star And the music flowed like sunshine from the fiddle and guitar But the light that glowed within us was the warmest light by far Je dois dire que je vous aime bien Dans la Louisiane Dans la Louisiane
