VIOLETS AND VIOLIN (Love Is Like a Violin) Bing Crosby 

Lyrics : Jack Lawrence (Version)
Violets and violins

When they meet romance begins
When they mix their magic art
How I hope it melts your heart

And they like to make you dream
Pink champagne to wake your dream
But to make your heartbeat sing
Violets and violins

And now at last I'm able
To sit and gaze at you
Across a gleaming table
With places set for two

Here are your favorite flowers
Here is your favorite wine
Oh make this moment ours
Whisper you'll be mine

Violets and violins
When they meet romance begins
When they mix their magic art
How I hope it melts your heart

Candle light to make you dream
Pink champagne to wake your dream
But to make my heart do things
Violets and violins
Violets and violins

MON COEUR EST UN VIOLON : Zarah Leander 

From: LITTLE LOST BOY (Le PETIT GARCON PERDU)

"Mon Coeur Est Un Violin" : Liane Augstin & Ken Dodd

 English lyrics : Jimmy Kennedy (Version)

Love is like a violin

With its strings around your heart

Soft and sweet as dreams begin

Sadly crying when you part

Make my heart your violin

Play it now and tell me this

In the music of a kiss

Let me hear you say "I love you"

Make my heart your violin

Play it now and tell me this

In the music of a kiss

Let me hear you say "I love you"

Leslie Uggams - "Love Is Like A Violin" (1960)
