Lyrics

Do you recall when we met?
How you sang, just to me, all night long
I called you my “Chansonette”
For to me you were like your song

Refrain:
Chansonette, Chansonette
Love was born when we met
For ever and a day, let me stay by your side
Every gleam of the moon
Brings a dream of the tune
That melody divine, always mine as my guide
The rose that blooms on each tomorrow
Its fragrance shall borrow from you
Chansonette, Chansonette
You will never regret
Forever to be known as my own Chansonette
My Chansonette, My Chansonette
