Lyrics
Who would have thought when I last kissed you
I was kissing you adieu
Oh, my darling, how I’ve missed you
But someday I’ll come back to you
Chorus:
Madelaine, flower of Normandy
Madelaine, my weeping fleur-de-lis
Stars have lost their light since we’re apart
Through the silent night my heart is calling
Madelaine, someday we’ll meet once more
Once again we’ll dream just like before
Pray with me that we shall see
That lovely land we knew
Then Madelaine, I’ll come back to you
