My Madeleine of Paris. She'll laugh and dance and sing. To cheer the weary soldier. At his homecoming.. A little room together. An hour of love to spend.. "Comme &ccedil;a your arms around me". Oh mon ami my friend.. But she how she remembers. That other love and joy.. The first the best. The dearest tired soldier boy.. A narrow room alone now. Rain on the roof above. And he will sleep forever. Oh mon ami my love.. My Madeleine of Paris. She does not sit and grieve. But sings away her sorrows. To cheer the soldiers' leave.. For life is short and funny. And love must have an end.. An hour may be forever. Oh mon ami my friend.. For life is short and funny. And love must have an end.. An hour may be forever. Oh mon ami my friend..
