And while I can think, while I can talk
While I can stand, while I can walk
While I can dream, please let my dream
Come true, right now
Let it come true right now
I’m living for the night
Though we have to fear it
Where life is just a game
That you have to win
Living for the night
When death surrounds you on and on
All the time it’s near
I’m longing to be free
Now it’s closing time, the music’s fading out
Last call for drinks, I’ll have another stout.
Well I turn around to look at you, you’re nowhere to be found,
I search the place for your lost face, guess I’ll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you.
There’ll be some people gonna back you up
But don’t look here for moral support
Don’t you ask no favours from me
I don’t believe in charity
Telling everybody you’re wonderful
What are you gonna do when there’s no one left to tell it to
Cold, cold eyes upon me they stare
People all around me and they’re all in fear
They don’t seem to want me but they won’t admit
I must be some kind of creature up here having fits
I am the shadow, and the smoke in your eyes
I am the ghost, that hides in the night
I say goodbye to my weakness,
So long to the regrets
And now I know that I’m alive
So remember, out there somewhere
You’ve got a friend, and you’ll never walk alone again
Don’t get worried, don’t get scared
We’re fighting to get there
Never doubt we’re gonna get through
We’re gonna run, we’re gonna crawl, kick down every wall
It won’t be long we’re coming back to you
On me dit que le destin se moque bien de nous,
Qu’il ne nous donne rien, et qu’il nous promet tout,
Paraît que le bonheur est à portée de main,
Alors on tend la main et on se retrouve fou.
Si toi aussi tu m’abandonnes
Térez Montcalm
Si toi aussi tu m’abandonnes
Ô mon unique amour, toi!
Nul ne pourra plus jamais rien, non, rien pour moi!
Si tu me quittes plus personne
Ne comprendra mon désarroi…
Et je garderai ma souffrance
Dans un silence
Sans espérance
Puisque ton coeur ne sera plus là!
C’est la cruelle incertitude
Qui vient hanter ma solitude!
Que deviendrai-je dans la vie
Si tu me fuis…?
J’ai tant besoin de ta présence
Tu restes ma dernière chance…
Si tu t’en vas, j’aurai trop peur…
Peur… de ne plus vivre une heure!
Si toi aussi tu m’abandonnes
Il ne me restera plus rien
Plus rien au monde et plus personne
Qui me comprenne
Qui me soutienne
Ou qui me donne simplement la main!
Attends! Attends! Attends! Demain.
Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust
For there were many things I didn’t know
When daddy went away he said “try to be a man”
And someday you’ll understand.
