The path I often walk along in my mind
Leads down the river to the lake
And to you, for you are waiting there
By the Blue Bayou
There's a house beneath the trees
Looking like in a fairy tale
Love and you are living in it
By the Blue Bayou
I'm starting over again
One day
By the Blue Bayou
Leaving the world behind me
When I'm with you
By the Blue Bayou
You taught me to see each new day
As a gift
I returned home
And ever since then, time has stopped moving for me
You once said: "Please do stay
For otherwise I'm bound to lose you
I'm far away and soon you'll forget
About Blue Bayou"
Back then I lacked the courage
I told myself "This won't work out"
But today I keep dreaming
About Blue Bayou
I'm starting over again
One day
By the Blue Bayou
Leaving the world behind me
When I'm with you
By the Blue Bayou
You taught me to see each new day
As a gift
I returned home
And ever since then, time has stopped moving for me
You taught me to see every new day
As a gift
I returned home
And ever since then, time has stopped moving for me
But today I keep dreaming
About Blue Bayou
