La Valse À Mimi

It's on the polished floor
Of a Saturday dance
That he held her in his arms
For the very first time
And he told her I love you
When he asked her
She gave him everything
They had made their nest under a roof in the neighborhood
To live their bohemian life
And it's always like this
When there's a party
And when an accordion tune makes your head spin

Mimi's waltz is like life
It spins, it spins at the Saturday dance
Mimi's waltz is like the Earth
It spins one way then it spins to war
Mimi's waltz is like love
It was going so well then it turns short
But you gotta start off on the right foot
When you've changed partners
To dance all night long
To Mimi's waltz

But the parties in the outskirts don't last forever
At the first rain, the good days are over
The rides are gone
The promises we made have quickly flown away
Love left with the warm summer nights
At the first snow
And it's always like this at the end of the party
We're left with an accordion tune spinning in our heads

Mimi's waltz is like life
It spins, it spins at the Saturday dance
Mimi's waltz is like the Earth
It spins one way then it spins to war
Mimi's waltz is like love
It was going so well then it turns short
But you gotta start off on the right foot
When you've changed partners
To dance all night long
To Mimi's waltz

Mimi's waltz is like life
It spins, it spins at the Saturday dance
Mimi's waltz is like the Earth
It spins one way then it spins to war
Mimi's waltz is like love
It was going so well then it turns short
But you gotta start off on the right foot
When you've changed partners
To dance all night long
To Mimi's waltz

Mimi's waltz is like life
It spins, it spins at the Saturday dance...
