My Lost Melody Songtext
von Édith Piaf

I used to know a little square
Back in Paris when I was small
All summer long it had a fair
Wonderful fair with swings and all

I used to love my little fair
And at the closing, everyday
I could be found dancing around
A merry-go-round that used to play

Oh mon amour
À toi toujours
Dans tes grands yeux
Rien que nous deux

All summer long my little fair
Made everyday a holiday
Night after night it used to glare
People came there from far away


Everyone sang the little tune
All over town you heard it played
Even Peppi from Napoli
He sang to Marie this serenade

Oh mon amour
À toi toujours
Dans tes grands yeux
Rien que nous deux

I can′t forget my little square
And even though I'm far away
I can′t forget my little fair
Maybe it's there, still there today

Sometimes I hear my little tune
And in a dream of long ago
And in my brain ran the little refrain
The old French refrain, I used to know

Oh mon amour
À toi toujours
Dans tes grands yeux
Rien que nous deux
