[00:02.10]Josephine Baker (Live) - Al Stewart
[00:14.72]I was watching TV late last night
[00:18.12]And a scene transported me
[00:21.48]Long gone figures came back to life
[00:24.51]In a documentary
[00:28.37]Though I saw them dance for joy
[00:30.67]I was sad I missed that show
[00:34.50]If I had a time machine
[00:37.40]I know just where I'd go
[00:42.06]I was born too late to see Josephine Baker
[00:45.38]Dancing in a Paris cabaret
[00:49.02]Born too late to see Josephine Baker
[00:51.83]She must have been great in her heyday
[01:08.23]Now some they stand out from a crowd
[01:10.88]Even at an early age
[01:14.41]I believe that her call was loud
[01:16.83]'Cause she just lit up the stage
[01:20.73]You can put on all that gloss
[01:23.12]And still not have to feel
[01:26.93]What's inside will come across
[01:29.61]And only real is real
[01:34.25]I was born too late to see Josephine Baker
[01:37.41]Dancing in a Paris cabaret
[01:40.90]Born too late to see Josephine Baker
[01:43.76]She must have been great in her heyday
[02:24.61]I'm sometimes trapped by the close confines
[02:27.49]Of the age I'm born into
[02:30.92]Though there were others worse than mine
[02:33.00]Well I miss what I can't do
[02:37.36]Join the feast of Ancient Greece
[02:39.85]See Alexander's Library
[02:43.61]Maybe clink a champagne toast
[02:46.24]With a jazz age dancing queen
[02:50.91]I was born too late to see Josephine Baker
[02:54.25]Dancing in a Paris cabaret
[02:57.64]Born too late to see Josephine Baker
[03:00.75]Dancing in a Paris cabaret
[03:03.77]In black and white film you can't mistake her
[03:06.94]She must have been great in her heyday
