allons viens encore chrie j attendrai patiemment sous la lampe dans la vieille avenue then i may end she had things to buy i close my eyes yet i don t know why i gave her money said she knew someone and she said she won t be long lamplights keep on burning while this heart of mine is yearning lamplights keep on burning till this love of yours is mine i sat alone with my thoughts and laughed then saw your face in an old photograph i didn t think that i could live without you but what am i to do lamplights keep on burning while this heart of mine is yearning lamplights keep on burning till this love of yours is mine  come home again dear i have waited year after year under the lamp in our old avenue if all in the world that s laughing why should it make us cry ah
