Lyrics

Evian

[Verse 1]

The starlight shimmers over Lac Léman

'Cross sweeping lawns

In evening gowns they stroll along

Beyond the villa to the grand hotel

Where all seems well

The evening casts a languid spell

[Chorus]

"Let's fall in love beside the lake in Évian

Let's have another drink and share each other's dreams

Let the water wash away these troubled times

There's nothing we can do for them in Évian"

[Verse 2]

She left the homeland back in '17

Herself a refugee

Although it seems a distant dream

She asked him, "What did they decide to do

To help them through?"

He said, "Don't let it worry you

[Chorus]

"Let's fall in love beside the lake in Évian

Let's have another drink and share each other's dreams

Let the water wash away these troubled times

There's nothing we can do for them in Évian"

[Bridge]

La, la la la

La, la la la

La, la la la la

La, la la la

La, la la la

La, la la la la

[Outro]

Let's fall in love beside the lake
