Je Vous Aime

Here comes another tourist night

And I’m getting on the stage at 10

I’ve been thinking since this morning again

How I learned to say Je vous aime

I learned to sing in Canadian

Old Orchard Beach is a town built on sand

And I picked you up and held you in my hand

On a wave that you never felt in Canada

Montreal on Sunday, maybe Monday

When I learned to say Je vous aime

Now it’s 2 o’clock and I’m yawning

Snatches of rock and blues floating through my head

We stayed up all morning

And slept on the beach as the day was dawning

From Je t’aime to Je vous aime

And back again

From summer nights to Christmas lights

In Montreal in the snow

When we danced to the radio

Now it’s 2 o’clock and I’m yawning

Snatches of rock and blues floating through my head

We stayed up all morning

And slept on the beach as the day was dawning

- Instrumental bridge - 

Old Orchard Beach is a town built on sand

And I picked you up and held you in my hand

On a wave that you never felt in Canada

Montreal on Sunday, maybe Monday

When I learned to say Je vous aime
