As recorded by LITA ROZA:
Whenever we kiss
I worry and wonder
Your lips may be near
But where is your heart?
It's always like this
I worry and wonder
You're close to me here
But where is your heart?
It's a sad thing to realise
That you've a heart that never melts
When we kiss, do you close your eyes
Pretending that I'm someone else
You must break the spell
This cloud that I'm under
Please, won't you tell
Darling, where is your heart?
(Orchestral Interlude)
When we kiss, do you close your eyes
Pretending that I'm someone else
You must break the spell
This cloud that I'm under
Please, won't you tell
Darling, where is your heart?

IT'S APRIL AGAIN
>From the film "Moulin Rouge" (1952)
(Music: Georges Auric / Lyrics: Paul Dehn)
Muriel Smith (as the singing voice of Zsa Zsa Gabor) - 1952
Away, away, the river goes rolling
Oh may, oh may our love remain true
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 fingers
Seek mine that you were meant to hold
Was it love that sang a song that lingers
Now both of us are growing old
Lie closer, my dear, and hear the refrain
Of your seventeenth year
In the sun and the rain
Beside the River Seine, oh
Away, away, the river goes rolling
Oh may, oh may our love remain true
It's April again, and lilacs are springing
The length of the Seine
It's April again and everyone is singing
Was it love led me on a Sunday
To dance with you beneath the trees
Was it love echoed on a Monday
The music of the river breeze
Lie closer my dear and listen again
To your seventeenth year
In the sun and the rain
Beside the River Seine, oh
Away, away, the river goes rolling
Oh may, oh may our love remain true
Lie closer again, Id dance with you here
In the sun and the rain the very next year
Beside the River Seine, oh

Also recorded by: Mireille Mathieu
Moulin des amours tu tournes tes ailes
Au ciel des beaux jours
Moulin des amours
Mon couer a dancé
Sur tes ritournelles
Sans meme y ponser
Mon couer a dancé
Ah, mon dieu, qu'ils etaient jolis
Les yeux qui valsaient dans les miens
On s'aimaitent presqu'a la folie
Et cet amour te plaisant bien
Det mots de bonheur
Dansaient sur tes ailes
Det mots de bonheur
Simples comme nos coeurs
Que de fois l'on a repeté
Ces mots qui chantaient dans nos coeurs
Et portant que m'est-il resté
De tant de reves de bonheur
Un simple moulin qui tourne ses ailes
Un simple moulin rouge comme mon coeur
