Affair) (Movie version – Grandmother)

Note: This is a fuller arrangement than that which is used in the movie.
This version contains the two note errors (and one instance of intentional grace
notes) in the first chorus that make the performance in the
movie so poignant, but the music sheet copy that I have does not include them;
however, I
can provide copies of same where I
have notated the parts where the errors are played.
Alternate versions
Chorus 1:
HUM MELODY
Chorus 2:
Ce bel amour, qui ne peut mourir,
Sera pour nous un doux souvenir.
Promesse ardente du premier baiser,
Qui nous lie, tous deux, pour l'éternité.
D'un bel amour toujours grandissant,
Qui défiera les épreuves du temps;
Trouvons la joie, reste dans mes bras,
Que nous vivions un bel amour,
Affaire de cœur, qu'on n'oublie pas.
