A               D     A 
Alons, viens encore, cherie.  
                E      F#m      E          E7           A 
J'attendrai patiemment sous la lampe dans la vieille avenue.  
A          D       D A Bm          E  E7 
Then I may end, she had things to buy.  
A           D      D A  Bm           E   
I close my eyes, yet I  don't know why.  
A           D                E   D  A 
I gave her money; said she knew someone.  
          D       E    D    A 
And she said she won't be long.  
     Bm    E       A 
Lamplight keep on burning  
            Bm       D       A 
while this heart of mine is yearning.  
     Bm    E       A 
Lamplight keep on burning  
           Bm      D        A 
till this love of yours is mine.  
A       D    D    A  Bm           E        E7 
I sat alone with my thoughts and laughed  
 A             D     D A Bm         E      
Then saw your face in an old photograph.  
A         D                  E    D       A 
I didn't think that I could live without you 
      D     E  D A 
but what am I to do ?  
     Bm    E       A 
Lamplight keep on burning  
            Bm       D        A 
while this heart of mine is yearning.  
     Bm    E       A 
Lamplight keep on burning  
           Bm      D        A 
till this love of yours is mine.  
A          D     A                              E  
Come home again dear, I have waited year after year  
F#m        E         E7          A 
under the lamp in our old avenue. 
    D          E           F#m        D              Bm      E  E7 
If all in the world that's laughing, why should it make us cry?  
A   D   A   E   F#m    E    E7      A 
Ah...
