Lyrics
Young lovers walk along the Seine
In a dance as ancient as dance is.
They flirt, they play, they tease, they kiss
To know Paris as only lovers can.
Excitement mounts with every move
To feel as one if slightly out of phase.
Isn’t that what makes each act of love
Truly wonderful, truly wondrous?
Old couples dine in the cafes
In a well established dialogue.
They fuss, they disagree, they shrug,
And hand-in-hand they amble on their ways,
Catering to one another’s frailties as if to prove
Love is law though unenforceable.
Isn’t that what makes each act of love
Truly wondrous, truly wonderful?
L'amour est le cadeau
Qui continue de donner.
Au le receveur
Comme au le donneur.
Upon life’s sleepy stream
I care not where I go
With love the ebb and flow
And all else but a dream.
Though countless have dreamed what we’re dreaming of,
What we share is there for only us.
Isn’t that what makes each act of love
Truly wonderful, truly wondrous?
L’amour est merveilleux.
Love is truly wondrous.
