Lyrics
What do you meet
Down a crooked little street in Paris?
Vendors who sell pretty flowers
That tell of spring
Once in a while
You may meet a certain smile in Paris
So excitingly gay, that it seems to say
“Cherie, fall in love with me”
Refrain
A certain smile, a certain face
Can lead an unsuspecting heart
On a merry chase
A fleeting glance
Can say so many lovely things
Suddenly you know why my heart sings
You love a while
And when love goes
You try to hide the tears inside
With a cheerful pose
But in the hush of night
Exactly like a bittersweet refrain
Comes that certain smile
To haunt your heart again
