Lyrics

It happened in Vienna
If you were there, you’d see
Two lovers in the moonlight
Beneath a linden tree
Sweet violins were playing
And to his love, the lad was saying

Chorus
Come let us stroll down lover’s lane
Once more to sing love’s old refrain
Soon we must say, auf Wiederseh’n
Auf Wiederseh’n, my dear
Here in your arms I can’t remain
So let me kiss you once again
Soon we must say, auf Wiederseh’n
Auf Wiederseh’n, my dear
Your love will cling to me
Through the lonely daytime
Each night will bring to me
The magic memory of Maytime
I know my heart won’t beat again
Until the day we meet again
Sweetheart, goodbye, auf Wiederseh’n
Auf Wiederseh’n, my dear
