While the violins play In a little french cafe How near to me you are It's a timeworn cliche But I simply have to say: So near and yet so far We're just a kiss apart And yet we dance On and on We're just a kiss apart But soon our chance Will be gone Now you're beside my heart Your eyes have started To shine Oh, but I know too well Daybreak may break the spell So while we're just a kiss apart Kiss me and tell me you're mine
