Mont Martre 1922

When all is still in Paris
and evening shadows creep
upon a hill in Paris
the people never sleep.
They bid a royal welcome
to ev'ry restless heart,
Champagne bubbles drown their troubles
while they are in Mont Martre.

Mont Martre
playground of France,
Mont Martre
wrapped in romance.
Mont Martre
on with the dance,
while the violin
plays a song of sin
with love dreams luring you on.
Till the vision is gone,
young hearts break with the wake of each dawn,
how tragic
is the magic of Mont Martre.

Mont Martre
playground of France,
Mont Martre
wrapped in romance.
Mont Martre
on with the dance,
while the violin
plays a song of sin
with love dreams luring you on.
Till the vision is gone,
young hearts break with the wake of each dawn,
how tragic
is the magic of Mont Martre.
