Allons, viens encore, chérie
J'attendrai patiemment
Sous la lampe dans la vieille avenue

10:05 a.m., she had things to buy
I close my eyes, yet I don't know why
I gave her money, said she knew someone
And she said she won't be long

Lamplight, keep on burning
While this heart of mine is yearning
Lamplight, keep on burning
'Til this love of yours is mine

I sat alone with my thoughts and laughed
Then saw your face in an old photograph
I didn't think that I could live without you
But what am I to do?

Lamplight, keep on burning
While this heart of mine is yearning
Lamplight, keep on burning
'Til this love of yours is mine

Come home again, dear
I have waited year after year
Under the lamp in our old avenue
If God is around that's laughing
Why should he make us cry?
