Nellie and kids:
Dites-moi
Pourquoi
La vie est belle,
Dies-moi
Pourquoi
Emile:
La vie est gai,
Dites-moi
Pourquoi,
Chere Mad'moiselle,
Est-ce que
Parce que
Vous m'aimez?
Nellie:
Born on the opposite sides of the sea,
We are as diff'rent as people can be
Emile:
It's true
Nellie:
And yet you want to marry me
Emile:
I do!
Nellie:
I've known you a few short weeks and yet
Somehow you made my heart forget
All other men I have ever met but you, but you
Emile:
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
Or all through your life
Nellie:
Once you have found her,
Never let her go
Emile:
Once you have found her,
Never let her go!
