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
