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.
|
|
Chorus:
|
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.
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
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
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
The Seine, the Seine, when will I again meet her there on the Seine?
