Lyrics Mon Vieux Paris (wiener/poterat) - Maurice Chevalier

Mon Vieux Paris (wiener/poterat)

I may be your forgotten son
Who wandered off at twenty-one.
It’s sad to find myself at home,
And you, you’re not around.
If I could only hold your hand
And say «I'm sorry, yes I am»
I’m sure you’d really understand.
Oh, ma, where are you now?
Oh, mamy, oh,
I need you, mamy.
The house we shared upon the hill
Seems lifeless, but it’s standing still.
And memories of my childhood
Fill my mind.
I’ve been through all the walks of life,
Seen tired days and lonely nights
And now without you by my side
I’m lost.
How will I survive?
Oh, mamy, oh, mamy — mamy — blue
I need you, mamy.
