Chez Louis

When it was still fun to see the rising sun
Every minute was flying away
We woke up with the morning light
To watch the break of day

I don't like seeing many daffodils
Awoke and flew up to the sky
We just enjoyed our happiness
And didn't wonder why

I still remember deep down in September
The nights became empty and sad
As I looked for the sun darling you were gone
Leaving everything we ever had

Those were the nights with neon lights
Going off and on chez Louis
Second rate stars on electric guitars
Got their applause chez Louis

Lovers call let the tango 'ball
Go 'round and 'round chez Louis
More cigarettes and no one gets
The time to be alone

Will I ever again see as much as I can
Or will I be carried away
Into a life of loneliness
And dreams of yesterday

Now he couldn't leave her I wouldn't
Believe her, but when I looked into my heart
I found a place of loneliness where dreams
Could never start

Those were the nights with neon lights
Going off and on chez Louis
Second rate stars on electric guitars
Got their applause chez Louis

Lovers call let the tango 'ball
Go 'round and 'round chez Louis
More cigarettes and no one gets
The time to be alone

Take away the restless nights
When nobody's really near
I'm longing for the summer nights
When you were here

Those were the nights with neon lights
Going off and on chez Louis
Second rate stars on electric guitars
Got their applause chez Louis

Lovers call let the tango 'ball
Go round and round chez Louis
More cigarettes and no one gets
The time to be alone
