0:09 [applause] [music] [music]

0:18 If [singing] I leave,

0:23 [music]

0:21 somebody else will love you,

0:26 but nobody [singing] else could forgive

0:29 me quite as often [music]

0:31 as you.

0:42 [music]

0:40 No one [singing] on the streets knows.

0:45 No one [singing] in this small [music]

0:48 knows.

0:49 No one [singing] in this bar

0:54 [music]

0:55 knows.

1:00 [music]

0:59 And none of my friends [singing] know.
