Lyrics
1. I can only speak French poorly, it surely is bad
Tho’ I always try sincerely, it’s really quite sad
Still it helps to say I love you
With a love that will endure
For each time that I think of you
I think of the word “Toujours”
Refrain:
Dear, all my love for you will live “Toujours”
Dear, all my love for you I give “Toujours”
I just say “Toujours” meaning “always”
It means “I’ll love you all of my days, ever and ever”
My lonely heart cries out “Je vooz-a-dore”
It’s you, there’s not a doubt, it’s crying for
Tell me that you love me and I’ll feel secure
You’ll be locked up in my heart “Toujours”
2. Tho’ my phrases are confusing, I’m losing my heart
I am trying hard to tell you, we never should part
I am always dreaming of you
With a love that is secure
For each time that I dream of you
I dream of the word “Toujours”
