MY LOST MELODY
Paroles: H. Rome, musique: Marguerite Monnot, enr. 11 juillet 1950

I used to know a little square

Back in Paris when I was small

All summer long it had a fair

Wonderful fair with swings and all

I used to love my little fair

And at the closing, every day

I could be found

Dancing around

A merry-go-round

That used to play:

"Oh mon amour...

A toi toujours...

Dans tes grands yeux...

Rien que nous deux..."

All summer long my little fair

Made every day a holiday

Night after night it used to glare

People came there from far away

Everyone sang the little tune

All over town you heard it played

Even Peppi

From Napoli

He sang to Marie

This serenade:

"Oh mon amour...

A toi toujours...

Dans tes grands yeux...

Rien que nous deux..."

I can't forget my little square

And even though I'm far away

I can't forget my little fair

Maybe it's there, still there today...

Sometimes I hear my little tune

And in a dream of long ago

And in my brain

Ran the little refrain

The old French refrain

I used to know:

"Oh mon amour...

A toi toujours...

Dans tes grands yeux...

Rien que nous deux..."
