[00:16.06]Let me tell of a time
[00:17.75]When the world was in rhyme
[00:19.19]With the sound of our laughter
[00:22.43]Montmartre hanged with flowers
[00:25.48]For far-forgotten hours of hunger and of love
[00:29.16]Unaware in our youth of the sobering truth
[00:32.28]Of the years that came after
[00:35.46]We laughed at commen men
[00:37.40]For we were heroes then
[00:38.73]And heaven smiled above
[00:42.22]La boheme, la boheme
[00:49.71]Poor hungry you, poor hungry me
[00:56.57]La boheme, la boheme
[01:03.43]See the old world that could not see
[01:11.61]All those innocent hearts
[01:13.13]Who imagined their arts
[01:15.00]Could be casually mastered
[01:18.25]I miss them every one
[01:21.45]For the sands of time have run away for each and all
[01:25.63]For it seems that our schemes were impossible dreams
[01:28.63]That could never have lasted
[01:31.87]For when we woke at last the big parade had passed
[01:35.79]And spring had gone its way
[01:39.04]La boheme, la boheme
[01:46.45]Someone to care, someone to mind
[01:53.26]La boheme, la boheme
[02:00.00]We were in love and love is blind
[02:08.42]Now and then I return
[02:09.98]And the memories burn with a bittersweet aching
[02:14.97]I climb the same old stairs
[02:17.91]But no-one longer cares
[02:19.83]And there's no-one to greet
[02:21.90]In the streets where we walked
[02:23.27]And the bars where we talked
[02:24.83]Of a world we were making
[02:27.90]I stand upon that hill until I drink my fill
[02:31.33]And leave it all behind
[02:34.82]La boheme, la boheme
[02:42.68]Moments of joy, moments of pain
[02:49.11]La boheme, la boheme
[02:55.47]Nothing can bring them back again
[03:22.22]Nothing can bring them back again

Let me tell of a time
When the world was in rhyme
With the sound of our laughter
Montmartre hanged with flowers
For 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 commen men
For we were heroes then
And heaven smiled above
La boheme, la boheme
Poor hungry you, poor hungry me
La boheme, la boheme
See the old world that could not see
All those innocent hearts
Who imagined their arts
Could be casually mastered
I miss them every one
For the sands of time have run away for 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 streets where we walked
And the bars where we talked
Of a world we were making
I stand upon that hill until I drink my fill
And leave it all behind
La boheme, la boheme
Moments of joy, moments of pain
La boheme, la boheme
Nothing can bring them back again
Nothing can bring them back again
