    Cm             Eb/G             Ab         Eb
The first time you kissed me at the end of our street
    Cm               Eb/G           Ab          Bb7
The gas lamps shone above us, young lovers we'd meet
        Cm           Eb/G              Ab         Eb
But the old town has gone now and it's winter too soon
      Cm         Eb/G      Ab6   Bb6  Bb7  Eb  
Still we waltz beneath our Val - en - tine Moon 


VERSE:
The streets and the market and the old Dog and Bell
We've gone through the changes, we've lived our lives well
But the old town is gone now and it's winter too soon
Still we waltz beneath our Valentine Moon

Cette fois que tu m'embrasse, au bout de notre rue
Les lampes de gaz nous allumière, toi et moi jeunes amants
But the old town has gone now and it's winter too soon
Still we waltz beneath our valentine moon
