The second type of verse.
The conclusion is a variation on the main theme.
It's a rainy night in Paris,
And the harbour lights are low.
He must leave his love in Paris
Before the winter snow.
On a lonely street in Paris,
He held her close to say
" We'll meet again in Paris
When there are flowers on the Champs-Elysees. "
" How long " she said " How long,
And will your love be strong ?
When you're across the sea,
Will your love remember me ? "
Then she gave him words to turn to
When the winter nights were long.
" Nous serons encore amoureux
Avec les couleurs du printemps. "
" And then " she said " And then,
Our love will grow again. "
Ah, but in her eyes he sees
Her words of love are only words to please.
And now the lights of Paris
Grow dim and fade away.
And I know by the light of Paris
I will never see her again.
