Let me tell of a time when the world was in rhyme with the sound of our laughter,
Montmartre hung with flow’rs, those far forgotten hours of hunger and of love,
Unaware in our youth of the sobering truth of the years that came after.
We laughed at common men for we were heroes then and heaven smiled above.
La Boheme, La Boheme,
Poor hungry you, poor hungry me.
La Boheme, La Boheme,
Silly old world that could not see!
All those innocent hearts who imagined their arts could be casually mastered,
I miss them ev’ryone, the sands of time have run away from each and all,
For it seems that our schemes were impossible dreams that could never have lasted.
For when we ‘woke at last the big parade had passed and spring had gone its way.
La Boheme, La Boheme,
Someone to care, someone to mind.
La Boheme, La Boheme
We were in love, and love is blind!
Now and then I return and the memories burn with a bittersweet aching,
I climb the same old stairs, but no one longer cares and there’s no one to greet
In the street where we walked or the bars where we talked of a world we were making.
I stand upon that hill until I’ve dreamed my fill, then leave it all behind!
La Boheme, La Boheme,
Moments of joy, moments of pain.
La Boheme, La Boheme,
Nothing can bring them back againVIEW COMPLETE FEWER LYRICS
