Lyrics | Somewhere in France Verse: I’m far away, over the ocean blue, In my imagination I can see the station in Bayonne my own, where I left you, Where are you now? Oh! If I only knew Still the dreams that I’m weaving, have me believing that I’m back again with you among the roses. Refrain: Somewhere in France beyond those Pyrenees Mountains are you by chance Beside those beautiful fountains? I’ve worn my mind out, I’ve tried to find out, why you’re somewhere in France, When you should be over here with me. Verse: Each lonesome day, I spend in memory, For I became a dreamer from the time the steamer sailed away that day across the sea, I know you wait thousands of miles from here And if I had the power, this ve’ry hour, would find me beside you dear among the roses, Refrain |
