LAST SUMMER'S CHAMPAGNE

Now that old-time song seemed to play so long
It seemed to play on forever
And the carnival crowd all sang it loud
They rendered the chorus together
But we both I recall we were far from it all
In that room above the boulevard
There we found respite that sweet,sultry night
When the moon was so bright and so large

CHORUS:And I wish I could be with her once again,
I wish I could be with her once again
I wish,I wish,I wish in vain
That I could drink last summer's champagne

She gave me nothing less,than all she possessed
She gave me something I will always savour
She said "Keep this night a secret,make a promise and keep it"
My promise I then gave her
And we came to discover the hearts of each other
That night in that Italian town
She enlightened me,she delighted me
That night we were far from the crowd

CHORUS

But was it all a mirage that moon so large
Or is true love really so fleeting?
I'm sure it was real when she came to reveal
That something I'd always been seeking
She said "In far-future days I will think of you always
For the same spirit binds us both
When the cold winter looms I will think of you
Take these words my love as an oath"

CHORUS
