I met him at the Gardens in Berlin He said he was in Paris for a week He promised me everything, although he was poor But what use is everything if he just sleeps on the floor? I showed him all the best things in life He asked me if I could be his wife He said come to London and marry me So I came to London, but all I got was rain and gold and tea And if I return to France one day without my English boy At least then I will have loved and lost When I walk down the street with my man I feel as proud as a woman can He doesn't care about what those people say We are so happy, I hope we'll just keep living for today I met him at the Gardens in Berlin He said he was in Paris for a week He promised me everything, although he was poor Now I've got everything, he doesn't sleep on the floor anymore And if I return to France one day without my English boy At least then I will have loved and lost It's better than not having loved at all It's better than not having loved at all It's better than not having loved at all It's better than not having loved at all
