A lovesong sung in French

                                            by Adam Parry

 

 

A lovesong sung in French

Is the most heart-breaking of all,

But all I have is these words and

They will have to do

A demain, she said, and I felt no sorrow.

I kissed her again and lived thing of tomorrow

Yet that was yesterday.

I thought I saw her on a bus that took her far away

She did not wave or smile that day, no,

She did not smile and wave, smile that smile

That gave my heart a new tale to tell.

 

Sometimes I see her in the mirror

At my side and she talks to me, yes,

She talks to me J’taime she say but I

Know she really isn’t there.

 

I put flowers by her stone

As rain kissed her beneath  her stone

I told her until tomorrow

And all the evenings long

Told her ‘til tomorrow

And smiled as if wasn’t so far away.
