I used to know a little square

So long ago, 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 close of everyday



I could be found, dancing around

A merry-go-round that used to play...



'Ah, mon amour

A toi toujours

Dans tes grands yeux

Rien que nous deux'



All summer long my little fair

Made everyday like a holiday

Night after night it used to play

And people came there from so far away

And everyone sang that little tune

All around town you heard it played



Even Pepi from Napoli

He sang to Marie

This serenade...



'Ah, mon amour

A toi toujours

Dans tes grands yeux

Rien que nous deux'

This serenade...



'Ah, mon amour

A toi toujours

Dans tes grands yeux

Rien que nous deux'



I can't forget my little square

Even though I'm so far away

I can't forget my little fair

Maybe it's still there, still there today

I sometimes hear that little tune

playing in a dream of long ago



And in my brain runs the refrain

That old French refrain I used to know...



'Ah, mon amour

A toi toujours

Dans tes grands yeux

Rien que nous deux'
