Armentieres Lyrics
Mademoiselle from Armentieres
How two short months turned to two long years
We drank our trouble in wine and songs
The tune that says this war will end and it won't be long
Mademoiselle from Armentieres
Crowds of these young foreigners are drowning in their beers
And maybe on the green fields her loved one fell
But word was never returned to the mademoiselle
So close your eyes, and hold on tight
Keep those you love beside you until the morning light
For dreams are the salvation of the lonely heart
And time is but a journey we cannot return to start
Mademoiselle from Armentieres
A love to sparkle brightly and then to disappear
The girl with jet black hair, and eyes of brown

She longs and waits for her great love in the old French town
So close your eyes, and hold on tight
Keep those you love beside you until the morning light
For dreams are the salvation of the lonely heart
And time is but a journey we cannot return to start
Mademoiselle from Armentieres
May your heart grow lighter, with the passing years
