A night of splendour And sweet surrender And now a sad adieu Why must there always be farewell All through tomorrow I'll live in sorrow Till ev'ning brings me you And once again I dwell Within your charming spell Adieu! Why must I say adieu to you The night is young, the moon is new And we're in love we two
Adieu! Don't take away your loveliness I want to stay in your caress And thrill the long night through Oh can't you hear as we part The voice of my heart crying It cries as never before For one hour more of love Adieu! Why must there be a parting kiss Why can't we just go on like this And never say Adieu!
