While the violins play
In a little french cafe
How near to me you are
It's a timeworn cliche
But I simply have to say:
So near and yet so far

We're just a kiss apart
And yet we dance
On and on
We're just a kiss apart
But soon our chance
Will be gone
Now you're beside my heart
Your eyes have started
To shine
Oh, but I know too well
Daybreak may break the spell
So while we're just a kiss apart
Kiss me and tell me you're mine
