  • Took the last train to St. Tropez
    Had in mind to dance the night away
    Experimented with a cognac high
    When in france you give everything a try

    Soon the crowd dwindled down to two
    Not a soul around but me and you
    You just smiled in french and took my hand
    Spoke the words i tried my best to understand
    You're tellin' me-

    Viens chez moi
    Ce soir va jamais terminer
    On va rester toujours ensemble-you're
    Tellin' me

    Come with me
    Tonight will last forever
    We wiii stay together always
    In love

    Woke the next day and found her note
    Love ya, goodbye that's all she wrote
    And every night down at the place we met
    I wait for her and those sweet words i
    Can't forget
    You're tellin' me-

    Viens chez moi
    Ce soir va jamais terminer
    On va rester toujours ensemble-'cause
    I want you to

    Come with me
    Tonight will last forever
    We will stay together always Writer/s: DAVID GATES

  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn October 28th 1978, David Gates performed "Took the Last Train" on the ABC-TV program 'American Bandstand'...
    At the time the song was at #30 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, and that would be its peak position on the chart, it spent 14 weeks on the Top 100...
    Between July 1973 and September 1981, as a solo artist, he would have six other Top 100 records; "Clouds" {#47}, "Sail Around the World" {#50}, "Never Let Her Go" {#29}, "Goodbye Girl {#15}, "Where Does the Lovin' Go" {#46}, and "Take Me Now" {#62}...
    Mr. Gates will celebrate his 74th birthday in two months on December 11th {2015}.
  • Tim from Lodi, NyThis was actually a solo hit for David Gates in the fall of 1978.
  • Charles from Charlotte, NcI was not aware Bread recorded again post-1978. Is this according to the Bread website?
