Oh, good....Barbara did most of the typing. I'll just copy her typing and insert the corrections from my Kingston trio songbook. Hope you don't mind the plagiarism, Barbara.
The Seine
by Irving Burgess. copyright, 1959, by Flywheel Music, Inc.
One night along the river
At St. Germain le Pre,
I first met my beloved
At a small sidewalk cafe
We walked along the river,
Shadows passing by,
But we only saw each other,
The shining water and the sky.
Chorus: Mm, The Seine, the Seine,
When will I again
Meet her there, Greet her there
On the moonlit banks of the Seine.

Standing there across the river,
Mid sound of horn and tram,
In all her quiet beauty,
The cathedral Notre Dame
And as we passed beside her
I said a little prayer
That when this dream was over
I'd awake and find you there.
Chorus

We walked along the river
Till dawn was coming nigh,
Beneath the Eiffel Tower
We said our last goodbye
There on that splendid morning,
I saw you all in tears,
And the beauty of that hour
Will shine within me through the years
Chorus
