Lyrics:
[Mitzi and Kids]
Dites-moi
Pourquoi
La vie est belle,
Dies-moi
Pourquoi--

[Rossano]
La vie est gai,
Dites-moi
Pourquoi,
Chere Mad'moiselle,
Est-ce que
Parce que
Vous m'aimez?

[Mitzi]
Born on the opposite sides of the sea,
We are as diff'rent as people can be.

[Rossano]
It's true

[Mitzi]
And yet you want to marry me.

[Rossano]
I do!

[Mitzi]
I've known a few short weeks and yet
Somehow you made my heart forget
All other men I have ever met of view, but you...

[Rossano]
Some enchanted evening
When you find your true love,
When you feel her call you
Across a crowded room,
Then fly to her side,
And make her your own
For all through your life you
May dream all alone.

[Mitzi]
Once you have found her,
Never let her go.

[Rossano]
Once you have found her,
Never let her go!
