I have a recording by (I think) Ralph McTell, of a song which starts

If I take you dancing Down the street to watch you laughing And stand still in the midnight rain Just to watch you smile again Understand I'll hold your hand A little tight As if to stop that special night from turning into morning time too soon.

It contains a line

Can you count the times That we heard the chimes of Notre Dame across the Seine To remind us sadly onece again Time, just like a river Swiflty flies away Understand I'll hold your hand . . . [etc]

Does that help?
