I take you hand in mine

And journey back in time

To avignon

Do you recall the day

It seems like yesterday

When love came along

The little street cafe

Where we would hide away

Just playin' our song

We strolled along lover's lane

Ignoring showers of rain

My sweet madeline



We didn't own a thing

But we had everything

My madeline

Down by the riverside

We'd sit and watch the tide

My madeline

We used to have such fun

We used to be as one

We're still the same

Just picture in your mind

All those carefree times

My sweet madeline



I found my first love

In avignon

My first and last love

In avignon

Let's go back and say hello

To the memories of long ago

Together we'll wander

Through old avignon



The cafe still remains

Although it's rearranged

Our table's still there

The same old atmosphere

Is that our song I hear

Love everywhere

You look the same today

As you did yesterday

Sun in your hair

Gonna walk through the town

Take a look around

With my sweet madeline
