| One night along the river at St. Germain de Pre, I first met my beloved at a
|
| small sidewalk café
|
| We walked along the river, the shadows passing by but we only saw each other,
|
| the shining water and the sky
|
| The Seine, the Seine, when will I again meet her there, greet her there on the
|
| moonlit banks of the Seine?
|
| Standing there across the river, mid sound of horn and tram, in all her quiet
|
| beauty, the cathedral Notre Dame
|
| And as we passed beside her, I said a little prayer that when this dream was
|
| over, I’d awake and find you there
|
| The Seine, the Seine, when will I again meet her there, greet her there on the
|
| moonlit banks of the Seine?
|
| We walked along the river, 'till dawn was coming nigh. |
| Beneath the Eiffel Tower
|
| we said our last good-bye
|
| There on that splendid morning, I left you all in tears and the beauty of that
|
| hour will shine within my through the years
|
| The Seine, the Seine, when will I again meet her there, greet her there on the
|
| moonlit banks of the Seine?
|
| The Seine, the Seine, when will I again meet her there on the Seine? |
