The starlight shimmers over Lac Léman
'Cross sweeping lawns in evening gowns they stroll along
Beyond the villa to the grand hotel where all seems well
The evening casts a languid spell

"Let's fall in love beside the lake in Evian
Let's have another drink and share each other's dreams
Let the water wash away these troubled times
There's nothing we can do for them in Evian"

She left the homeland back in '17
Herself a refugee, although it seems a distant dream

She asked him
"What did they decide to do to help them through?"

He said, "Don't let it worry you
Let's fall in love beside the lake in Evian
Let's have another drink and share each other's dreams
Let the water wash away these troubled times
There's nothing we can do for them in Evian
Let's fall in love beside the lake"
