Lyrics
- Your lips met mine and love divine
Was born in my heart
‘Twas all I knew, just loving you
From the very start
I dream’d the whole night thro’
But all that it meant to you
Refrain
“Encore, un autre baiser”
Just another kiss, you say
Well, after all, a broken doll
Is often in the way
Oh, I’m not blaming you
But all the time you knew
‘Twas love, “cherie”
It was love with me
But to you: “un autre baiser”
- ‘Tis true but strange, one word can change
A whole life, it seems
The thought that you were really thro’
Shatter’d all my dreams
I seem’d so unprepared
For, dearest, I thought you cared
Refrain
“Encore, un autre baiser”
Just another kiss, you say
Well, after all, a broken heart
Is often in the way
Oh, I’m not blaming you
But all the time you knew
‘Twas love, “cherie”
It was love with me
But to you: “un autre baiser”
