Lyrics
Memories of France Verse: Like a lot of little bubbles, I can blow away my troubles, Dreaming of my romance, With a pretty little daughter of a land across the water, I dream that I’m back in France. Refrain: Someone whispers to me, “I love you mon chéri,” in my memories of France And we stroll once again by the old river Seine, in my memories of France And I see her still placing roses, where many old pal reposes, And we laugh, and we cry, then a kiss, the “good bye,” in my memories of France Verse: On the road from Chateau Thierry, once again so tired and weary, I wander on my way Then I reach a Latin quarter and a Chateau by the water, It seems just like yesterday. Refrain
