as recorded by Richard Tauber 
with Orchestra conducted by Phil Green  
July 3rd 1942 
London


Do you remember
A night in September,
My own?
Love was around us,
He came out and found us
Alone!
Now he has left us,
Bereft us
Of all we esteemed,
Words that once mattered
And flattered
Were not what they seemed,
Or dreamed!

Love's last word is spoken, cherie!
Now my heart is broken, cherie.
Faded the hours I spent with you,
Roaming the boulevarde, content with you.

Once our hearts were blended, cherie;
Now our dream is ended, cherie,
And like a broken melody,
Love's last word is broken, cherie!

Once our hearts were blended, cherie;
Now our dream is ended, cherie,
And like a broken melody,
Love's last word is broken, cherie,
Love's last word is broken, cherie!
