The Seine

(الألبوم: At Large - 1959)

One night along the river at St. Germaine de Pre
I first met my beloved at a small sidewalk cafe
We walked along the river, 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 goodbye
There on that splendid morning I saw you all in tears
And the beauty of that hour will shine within me 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?
