I Am Your Sleepless Night-Je Suis La Nuit Insomniaque Pour Vous
JE SUIS LA NUIT INSOMNIAQUE POUR VOUS
Bright Eyes, you'll never see the morning break,
feeling as good as you have been,
somewhere you let it be one more mistake,
down by the Seine;
each dawn that's breaking through the window light,
each ray of sunshine streaming through,
dances the way we might have done last night,
but that's a memory, for you.
Many's the time when you will dwell on it,
wondering how love might have been;
strolling our time, or stop a while and sit,
down by the Seine;
but it's the mornings, and the early rise,
when you will need the things I do,
teardrops forever on your cheeks, Bright Eyes,
all from a restless night for you;
I touch your mind, I'll never go away,
and you will feel me now and then,
strolling again on Champs Elysees;
down by the Seine;
I am your tossing and your troubled sleep,
forgetting me, you'll never do,
you'll never know another dream so deep;
Je suis la nuit insomniaque--pour vous.
