I bless the day I found you, I want to stay around you, and so I beg you, let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one, If you must cling to someone,now and forever, let it be me
Each time we meet love, I find complete loveWithout your sweet love what would life be
so never leave me lonelyTell me you love me only, and that you'll alwayslet it be me
Each time we meet love, I find complete loveWithout your sweet love what would life be
so never leave me lonelyTell me you love me only, and that you'll alwayslet it be melet it be me
What happened here, as the New York sunset disappeared ? I found an empty garden among the flagstones there. whooooWho lived here? He must have been a gardener that cared a lot, Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop. And now it all looks strange. It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain.
And what's it for, this little empty garden by the brownstone door ? And in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no more. whooooWho lived here? He must have been a gardener that cared a lot, Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop and we are so amazed ! We're crippled and we're dazed... A gardener like that one, no one can replace.
And I've been knocking, but no one answers. And I've been knocking, most all the day. Oh, and I've been calling "Hey, hey, Johnny!" Can't you come out to play?
And through their tears, some say he farmed his best in younger years. But he'd have said that roots grow stronger, if only he could hear. whooooWho lived here? He must have been a gardener that cared a lot, Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop Now we pray for rain, and with every drop that falls... We hear, we hear your name...
And I've been knocking, but no one answers. And I've been knocking, most all the day. Oh, and I've been calling "Hey, hey, Johnny!" Can't you come out to play?
We still sit at separate tables and we sleep at different times and the warm wind in the palm trees hasn't helped to change our minds
It was thelure of the tropics that Ithought might heal the scars Of alove burned out bysilence in amarriage minus heart
And I call the kids on the telephone Say there's something wrong out here It's July but it's cold asChristmas In the middle of the year The temperature's up to ninety five But there's awinter look in your mother's eyes And to melt the tears there's aheat wave here So how come it's cold as Christmas in the middle of the year.
I dreamed of love in a betterclimate And for what it's really worth I putfaith in the star we followed To this Caribbean surf
But there's an icy fringe on everything And I cannot find the lines Where's thebeauty in the beast we made Why the frost in the summertime.
And I call the kids on the telephone Say there's something wrong out here It's July but it's cold asChristmas In the middle of the year The temperature's up to ninety five But there's awinter look in your mother's eyes And to melt the tears there's aheat wave here So how come it's cold as Christmas in the middle of the year.
Je revois la ville en fête et en délire suffoquant sous le soleil et sous la joie Et j'entends dans la musique les cris, les rires qui éclatent et rebondissent autour de moi
Et perdue parmi ces gens qui me bousculent, étourdie, désemparée, je reste là Quand soudain, je me retourne, il se recule, et la foule vient me jeter entre ses bras...
Emportés par la foule qui nous traîne nous entraîne écrasés l'un contre l'autre nous ne formons qu'un seul corps et le flot sans effort nous pousse, enchaînés l'un et l'autre et nous laisse tous deux épanouis, enivrés et heureux. Entraînés par la foule qui s'élance et qui danse une folle farandole nos deux mains restent soudées, Et parfois soulevés nos deux corps enlacés s'envolent et retombent tous deux épanouis, enivrés et heureux.
Et la joie éclaboussée par son sourire, me transperce et rejaillit au fond de moi Mais soudain je pousse un cri parmi les rires quand la foule vient l'arracher d'entre mes bras...
Emportés par la foule qui nous traîne nous entraîne nous éloigne l'un de l'autre je lutte et je me débats
Mais le son de ma voix s'étouffe dans les rires des autres et je crie de douleur, de fureur et de rage et je pleure... Entraînée par la foule qui s'élance et qui danse une folle farandole je suis emportée au loin
Et je crispe mes poings, maudissant la foule qui me vole l'homme qu'elle m'avait donné
Et que je n'ai jamais retrouvé...
