I take you hand in mine And journey back in time To avignon Do you recall the day It seems like yesterday When love came along The little street cafe Where we would hide away Just playin' our song We strolled along lover's lane Ignoring showers of rain My sweet madeline We didn't own a thing But we had everything My madeline Down by the riverside We'd sit and watch the tide My madeline We used to have such fun We used to be as one We're still the same Just picture in your mind
All those carefree times My sweet madeline I found my first love In avignon My first and last love In avignon Let's go back and say hello To the memories of long ago Together we'll wander Through old avignon The cafe still remains Although it's rearranged Our table's still there The same old atmosphere Is that our song i hear Love everywhere You look the same today As you did yesterday Sun in your hair Gonna walk through the town Take a look around With my sweet madeline
