What's the time?
Where's the place?
Why the line?
Where's the race?
Just in time I see your face
Toujours gai mon cher

You are the star that greets the sun
Shine across my distant sky
When night is done
You'll be the moon to light my way
Toujours gai mon cher

It's not too late to start again
It's not too late
Though when you go away
The skies will grey again,
In the time that remains
I will stay toujours gai mon cher

No regrets for the light that will no shine
No regrets but don't forget the flame was mine
And in another place-in another time
Toujours gai mon cher

Half way measures go unsung
Take your pleasures while you're young
Just remember when they're done
Be toujours gai mon cher...
