It was montmartre It was midnight come to think of it It was spring There was music i was listening Then in the room somewhere someone began to sing This serenade made for remembering A small cafe, mam'selle Our rendezvous, mam'selle The violins were warm and sweet And so were you, mam'selle And as the night danced by A kiss became a sigh Your lovely eyes seemed to sparkle Just like wine does No heart ever yearned the way mine does for you And yet i know too well Some day you'll say goodbye Then violins will cry And so will i, mam'selle A small cafe, mam'selle Our rendezvous, mam'selle The violins were warm and sweet And so were you, mam'selle And as the night danced by A kiss became a sigh Your lovely eyes seemed to sparkle Just like wine does No heart ever yearned the way mine does for you And yet i know too well Some day you'll say goodbye Then violins will cry And so will i, mam'selle
