Below the Pont Mirabeau   Slow flows the Seine   And all our love's together   Must I recall again   Joy would always follow   After pain      Hands holding hands   Let us stand face to face   While underneath the bridge   Of our arms entwined slow race   Eternal gazes flowing   At waves pace      Let night fall, let the hours go by   The days pass on and here stand I      Love runs away   Like running water flows   Love flows away   But oh, how slow life goes   How violent is hope   Love only knows      Let night fall, let the hours go by   The days pass on and here stand I      The days flow ever on   The weeks pass by in vain   Time never will return   Nor our loves burn again   Below the Pont Mirabeau   Slow flows the Seine      Let night fall, let the hours go by   The days pass on and here stand I
