Each night I see her passing by my door
And in my heart there's pain
I long to tell her but I'm much too poor
And the lady drinks champagne

Her diamonds glitter and her clothes are fine
While mine are old and plain
The world she lives in is so far from mine
Cause the lady drinks champagne

Why should it be, I can feel, I can see, but never touch
And why should two lips that insist to be kissed
Pass me by when I need them so much

I dream that someday love would come my way
My dreams were all in vain
Love came demanding what I couldn't pay
Cause the lady drinks champagne

Why should it be, I can feel, I can see, but can never touch
Why should two lips that insist to be kissed
Pass me by when I need them so much

I dream that someday love would come my way
My dreams were all in vain
Love came demanding what I couldn't pay
Cause the lady drinks champagne
