Lyrics
Jacques
Here at a Paris sidewalk café,
Just we two, no one else around
The night is young, the air is cool
With a delicate breeze
I feel like dancing la bastringue
Denise
I feel like dancing a waltz Viennese.
Jacques
You dance the waltz with such graceful ease
To such nice melodies.
Jacques and Denise
These feelings are more than just fantasies;
What can be more fantastic than two dancing trees?
Tell me!
Denise
The world for a moment is far away
While I'm with Jacques in his red beret
Jacques and Denise
Can such love be real?
Can such love be real?
Denise
Lovely times; I'm happy today
With handsome Jacques in his red beret
Jacques
Lovely Denise and her veiled chapeau;
How came this happiness I'll never know.
Jacques and Denise
Can such love be real?
Jacques
Your charm and demeanor have great appeal
I cannot from you my feelings conceal
No romantic setting could be more ideal
For my feelings to reveal
Denise
Can our attraction be just an illusion?
Is true love just a senseless confusion?
Here we are in sidewalk café seclusion
My feelings are simply hard to convey
Around us Paris is in elegant display
The world for a moment is far away
While I'm with Jacques in his red beret
Jacques and Denise
Can such love be real?
Can such love be real?
Denise
Lovely times; I'm happy today
With handsome Jacques in his red beret
Jacques
Lovely Denise in her veiled chapeau
How came this happiness I'll never know
Can such love be real?
(loud whisper)
Can such love be real?
