I like it best
Along the sidestreets,
Away from all
The glitter and the style.
Where last years leaves
In summer whirlwinds,
Stir up memories
With the dust.
So we just linger there
Together for a while.

I like it best
Along the sidestreets .
When darkness falls and
I dare to hold you near.
Through open windows
Table chatter
Lulls the dusk
Of parting day.
Still we linger there
Another little while.

O slow it down
And we'll embrace.
As the lilac shivers
With lamplit grace.
Kick off your shoes,
We'll dance all night.
You'll lose your breath
But that's all right.

For you enchant me
With your smile.
And mesmerise me
Still with all your wondrous ways .

I like it best
Along the sidestreets.
Amid the ghosts
Of neighbours we once knew.
Don't let your desire for
Fame consume you.
Dont just sweep
Their past away.
Look they still wander through
your sidestreets here today.

It feels so right
Along these sidestreets.
Among the cats in their,
Tasty rubbish bins.
Where last years leaves
In summer whirlwinds
recall a past
We'll soon forget .
Don't you miss it?
Do you never feel regret?

O slow it down
Can't we embrace?
As the lilac shivers
With lamplit grace.

Kick off those shoes
We'll dance all night.
You'll lose your breath
But that's all right.

And we'll Sing old langsyne,
And sing silent night.
W'ell sing "ja vi elsker " with all our might.
You've won my heart,
Now treat it right.
You're the only home
I have tonight.

And You enchant me
With your smile.
And mesmerise me still
With a thousand small white lies.
