Lyrics

On a street in Montmartre sat a small cabaret
Where the band kept time with the Seine
Your laughter rang out as the accordion played
My heart skipped a beat but started again
At the Za Za Café

We toasted the night with champagne
The moment was lively and new
The chatter the clatter the jazz refrain
But all I could hear was you
At the Za Za Café

Strawberry lips with a taste of rosé
Your hand intertwined with mine
The clock tower chimed but the band swung away
Our love found its rhythm in time
At the Za Za Café

The windows are dark and the tables are bare
The laughter has drifted away
But each time I dream I’m summoned back there
Your eyes cast an intoxicating spell my way
At the Za Za Café

Now under the light of the Eiffel Tower
For all of Paris to see
I give you my heart in this sacred hour
Will you spend forever with me
At the Za Za Café

Au fond du refuge de ma mémoire
(Deep in the refuge of my memory)
Ce doux moment du passé
(That sweet moment of the past)
Le vrai début de notre histoire
(The true beginning of our story)
Si seulement on pouvait y retourner
(If only we could go back)
To the Za Za Café

At the Za Za Café a new song starts to play
The sparkle has softened but not gone away
At the Za Za Café
True love endures come what may
