I take a bus, a train, a moped
I would always find a way
I´d even hitchhike in the rain
Just to come and hear you play
No, never would I ever miss

A concert starring you
And at night I wouldn´t sleep awake
I´d lie there and I would long for you

You played the cello
In every town the hits were turning
I sat in the front row
And found you so alluring
Cello, you were a classic hero for me
And sometimes I´d catch your eye
And then me, oh my
I´d be a mess for weeks then

No matter where I was there
´Til at last you saw the light
I might be more than just a fan for you
And the love that we shared, it felt so right
Just sitting backstage, holding hands with you

Now you´ve long since settled somewhere
And you stored away your cello
Come on now, won´t you get out
And play once more so sweet and mellow?
You played the cello
In every town the hits were turning
I sat in the front row
And found you so alluring
Cello, you were a classic hero for me
And sometimes I´d catch your eye
And then oh me, oh my
I´d be a mess for weeks then
You played the cello
