Jacques
Vicky Leandros Lyrics

Jacques plays the piano
There is a man named Jacques who is playing the piano.

In the place that's tonight
This is happening at a specific location and time.

His songs fill the air
The music that Jacques is playing can be heard all around.

I watch from my window

He's got me enchanted

With such a melody

Every time he's playing
This experience occurs each time Jacques plays the piano.

I hear that magic tone

Jacques plays every evening

And in the sweet

I bring it together

What a shame that we two

May never meet

Jacques, my world's looking granted there

For Jacques sends it all with a rose bouquet

He sends his love inside a note

In which he wrote

You got me enchanted

Inside my melody

Like to tell you, 'please be mine'

Every time I'm playing

And imagine that I play

For you alone
