To spend one night with you in our old rendezvous
And reminisce with you, that’s my desire
To meet where gipsies play down in some small cafe
And dance till break of day, that’s my desire

We’ll sip a little glass of wine, I’ll gaze into your eyes divine
To feel the touch of your lips pressing on mine

To hear you whisper low just when it’s time to go
“Cheri I love you so,” that’s my desire
We’ll sip a little glass of wine, I’ll gaze into your eyes divine
To feel the touch of your lips pressing on mine

To hear you whisper low just when it’s time to go
“Cheri I love you so,” that’s my desire
