River Seine
Dean Martin · Everybody Loves Somebody: The Reprise Years 1962-1 [2002]
There we met and there we parted by the lovely river Seine
Two young lovers broken hearted for we knew we'd loved in vain
And though years may go some day I know she'll come to Paris again
And I'll find her where I lost her by the lovely river Seine.

There we met and there we parted by the lovely river Seine
Two young lovers broken hearted for we knew we'd loved in vain
And though years may go some day I know she'll come to Paris again
And I'll find her where I lost her by the lovely river Seine...
