IT'S APRIL AGAIN
(Music: Georges Auric / Lyrics: Jacques Larue - from the song
"Le long de la Seine" - English lyrics adapted by Paul Dehn)
Muriel Smith (as the singing voice of
Zsa Zsa Gabor in the film "Moulin Rouge") - 1952
It's April again
And lovers are lining the banks of the Seine
It's April again
And every eye is shining
Was it love let your lucky finger
Seek mine that you were meant to hold
Was it love sang a song that lingered
Now both of us are growing old
Lie closer, my dear, and hear the refrain
Of your seventeenth year in sun and the rain
Beside the River Seine, love
Lie closer, my dear, and listen again
To your seventeenth year in sun and the rain
Beside the River Seine, love
Come closer again, I dance with you here
The sun and the rain the very next year
Beside the River Seine, love
