The Belle Of Singapore

Let me tell you bout a lady

Who has just turned ninety-four

She has seen the world a changing

She's survived many a war

In a little house in Brighton

Where the sea rolls to the shore

Lives the lady with her daughter

She was the belle of Singapore

Now it all began in Bangkok

Born with Pisces in her moon

The girl became a woman

Tied her wedding band in June

Little did she know

What life had in store

The year was nineteen-twenty

She was the belle of Singapore

The belle of Singapore

The belle of Singapore

The year was nineteen-twenty

She was the belle of Singapore

The years went by

She bore her children

Lost her husband in the war

At the age of fifty-seven

Fate closed another door

It was goodbye forever

To the life she'd known before

For a cold and foreign country

Embarked the belle of Singapore

The belle of Singapore

The belle of Singapore

For a cold and foreign country

Embarked the belle of Singapore

Her life has been a journey

Like a boat afloat the sea

Adapting to the waters

And to where the current leads

Now her body's old and frail

Though her spirit's like before

Cause when I look into her eyes

I see the belle of Singapore

The belle of Singapore,

The belle of Singapore

Cause when I look into her eyes

I see the belle of Singapore
