Here is an impossible to find version of Ton Meilleur Ami. The English version. This is the very first song that I remember from a very young child. For some reason, I just loved this then... and I still do!. It stuck with me, and I always wanted to hear it again. I was delighted to find that I had it on an LP. Ms Hardy's accent is absolutely charming in this version. A French accent can be very pretty and this is an example. A rare gem in my opinion.

I was 4 years old when this came out, and I still remember the words... although I downloaded these. :)

If we are only friends

Why do you kiss me like you do?

If we are only friends

Why do you hold me all night through?

Do the words "I love you"

Never come to your mind

Don't you know I love you?

Or is love really blind?

And every time we dance

When there is starlight up above

I wonder if by chance

You will discover this is love

Could we be as happy

As we both seem to be?

Could we be so happy

For the whole world to see if we are only friends?

All evening in your arms you hold me

'Til suddenly it's time to part

I wonder why you always hold me

So close to your heart

If we are only friends

Why don't you dance with someone new

And when the party ends

Why do I always leave with you

There's a happy ending

But on you that depends

And until you tell me

I can only say

We're just very good friends

We are only good friends

We're still very good friends.

I was about 6 going on 7 years old then and I liked this song I heard play on the coin operated jukebox in the coffee shop downstairs. I didn't make much of it at that young age but that voice stuck with me right up till now..

@cricketbat08 I dig the part where she sings a line from this one on the medley with her, Sylvie and Petula.
