Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris movie - BACHELOR'S DANCE lyrics

rate me

<br>

The girl that I will marry<br>

Will have a heart so wise<br>

That in the hollow of her eye's<br>

My heart will want to tarry<br>

The girl who will be mine<br>

Will have skin so soft and tender<br>

And when it comes December<br>

Her skin will be my wine<br>

And me I'll love her so<br>

And she, she will love me<br>

And our hearts burning slow<br>

For at least a century<br>

Through the window of life<br>

We will go as girl and boy<br>

To become man and wife<br>

To become one with joy<br>

No, it isn't you<br>

The girl that I will marry<br>

No, it isn't you<br>

The girl who'll marry me<br>

The girl that I will love<br>

Will have a house of grace<br>

All painted white, and there my soul<br>

Will find its hiding place<br>

The girl that I will love<br>

Will do her vigil keeping<br>

And late at night she'll tell me of<br>

The children that are sleeping<br>

And me, I'll love her so<br>

And she, she will love me<br>

We'll make a present of our love<br>

To us and destiny<br>

And we will take the sun<br>

To dress our love in gold<br>

For soon our youth is gone<br>

For soon we must grow old<br>

No, it isn't you<br>

The girl that I will love<br>

No, it isn't you<br>

The girl that will love me<br>

The girl that I will marry<br>

Will age with happiness<br>

For she will have a fireplace<br>

And all my tenderness<br>

The girl that I will marry<br>

Will age without a fear<br>

And like the wine grow mellower<br>

With every passing year<br>

And me, I'll love her so<br>

And she, she will love me<br>

And we will write a song<br>

For all the joys that used to be<br>

And when we leave this earth<br>

Our eyes still filled with love<br>

We'll send a flower down to hell<br>

And up to heaven above<br>

Ah, won't she come to me<br>

The girl that I will marry<br>

Who will she be<br>

The girl who'll marry me<br>

<br>
