The joys of love are but a moment long

The pain of love endures the whole life long



Your eyes kissed mine, I saw the love in them shine

You brought me heaven right there when your eyes kissed mine



My love loves me, a world of wonder I see

A rainbow shines thru my window; my love loves me



And now he's gone like a dream that fades in the dawn

But the words stay locked in my heartstrings; my love loves me



Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'on moment

Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie



J'ai toute quitte pour l'ingrate Sylvie

Elle me quit et me prend un autre amour



Tant qur cette eau coutera doucement

Vera a ruisseau qui bord la prairie



Je t'amerai, me repetait Sylvie

Mais l'eau coute encore elle a change portant
