Kanako Nakayama and Kaori Okui, English lyrics Ralph McCarthy)



In the chilly waters of the fountain

At the great museum

Dangle your feet and look up to the sky

Let me take a photograph of you like that

I'm still not sure if I believe my eyes



In the golden afternoon

I cruise around the town with you

And when the evening comes we'll have a glass of wine

Simple little pleasures, they're ours forever

See how they sparkle and shine



* Counting down seconds to the millennium

Every beat of your heart in rhythm with mine

Every scene's another prize for my collection

Every kiss, every touch a wonderful find

I never will let go, I'll never leave you, NO

I wanna hold you close until the end of time



** Diamonds, that's what they are

Oh (oh) these memories we're making now

Oh (oh) I can't explain it well, but this I know

They will never lose their glow

Shining like a sky full of stars

Oh (oh) our love will never let us down

Oh (oh) all of the brilliant moments yet to come

All of them diamonds



Got an eyeful at the tower

Took the Bat-o-bus upriver

Kissed in the garden next to Notre Dame

We don't speak the lingo

But we're so in love it's plain

People dig us just the same



Love the room at our hotel

That Jean-Phillipe is always helpful

How do you pronounce it now, Le Vieux Marais?

Walk down to the plaza by the funny building

Where all the street musicians play



* ** ** Repeat
