Bilingual
I was helpless in her hands
Oh the sweet mystery of life was there
A whiff of moonlit silver sands
Oh disappearing into air
She said she didn't want a romance
Just something casual to wear
Thought I might just have a slight chance
To make a rendez-vous with her
ย
We made it cocktails at eight
It was a sure-fire date
And I was over the moon
But I was mooning too soon
She was a dame with real class
I thought I'd have one more glass
And when I looked at my watch
It was the hour at last
But still my date didn't show
I watched the time come and go
And so I drank like a boy
And though the night went so slow
ย
But still my date didn't show
I watched the time come and go
And so I drank like a boy
And though the night went so slow
Oh now the waiter was grinning
At this devil with women
Both his eyes on the door
Oh yes, he'd seen this before
I told the barman my tale
As he was ringing my sail
He said you can't win them all
And as if that would be all
ย
