Lamplight

Alons, viens encore, cherie

J'attendrai patiemment

Sous la lampe dans la vieille avenue

Then I may end, she had things to buy

I close my eyes, yet I don't know why

I gave her money, said she knew someone

And she said she won't be long

Lamplight keep on burning

While this heart of mine is yearning

Lamplight keep on burning

Till this love of yours is mine

I sat alone with my thoughts and laughed

Then saw your face in an old photograph

I didn't think that I could live without you

But what am I to do

Lamplight keep on burning

While this heart of mine is yearning

Lamplight keep on burning

Till this love of yours is mine

Come home again, dear

I have waited year after year

Under the lamp in our old avenue

If all in the world that's laughing

Why should it make us cry
