The Old French Quarter

[Verse 1]
In the old French Quarter in New Orleans
In my dreams I walk once more with my darling
In the jasmine scented nights 'neath the misty old lamplights

[Refrain]
In the old French Quarter in New Orleans

[Verse 2]
When I left she held me tight and told me
Not to stay away too long because she loved me
And the silent teardrops fell as we kissed and said, "Farewell"

[Refrain]
In the old French Quarter in New Orleans

[Bridge]
But summer turned to winter and when springtime came
I returned and learned that things were not the same

[Verse 3]
As I said goodbye to old New Orleans
I could hear the church bells ringing for my darling
And I slowly walked away but I knew my heart would stay

[Refrain]
In the old French Quarter in New Orleans
In the old French Quarter in New Orleans
