Seine Lyrics

The Seine

The Kingston Trio

Written by Irving Burgess

From their "At Large" LP

This song did not chart as a single

(ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)

(ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)

One night along the river at St. Germaine de Pre

I first met my beloved at a small sidewalk cafe

We walked along the river, shadows passing by

But we only saw each other, the shining water, and the sky

The Seine, the Seine, when will I again

Meet her there, greet her there

On the moonlit banks of the Seine?

Standing there across the river 'mid sound of horn and tram

In all her quiet beauty, the Cathedral Notre Dame

And as we passed beside her I said a little prayer

That when this dream was over I'd awake and find you there

The Seine, the Seine, when will I again

Meet her there, greet her there

On the moonlit banks of the Seine?

We walked along the river till dawn was coming nigh

Beneath the Eiffel Tower we said our last goodbye

There on that splendid morning I saw you all in tears

And the beauty of that hour will shine within me through the years

The Seine, the Seine, when will I again

Meet her there, greet her there

On the moonlit banks of the Seine?

The Seine, the Seine, when will I again

Meet her there on the Seine
