In the Latin Quarter
In the heat of the night
I closed my eyes,
And found myself afresh
In the Latin Quarter!
The moon was at a rest,
Joyful laughter could be heard
Just like I remembered
My dear Latin Quarter!
I had plenty time before me,
So I tried not to rush,
Drinking in the pleasantries,
Of the Latin Quarter!
Near the banks of la Seine,
The wine was sweet again,
Music serenading the domain,
Of the Latin Quarter!
There I was once more
Hoping for an encore
Of a long forgotten amour,
In the Latin Quarter!
