Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris movie - FANETTE lyrics

rate me

<br>

We were two friends in love, Fanette and I<br>

The empty beach was warm and sleepy in July<br>

If the sea recalls, the waves would surely say<br>

I sang so may songs for Fanette each day<br>

She was, she was as beautiful as rainbows in the sky<br>

She was so beautiful and not at all am I<br>

She was, she was there on the sand as gold as she was brown<br>

And when I held her hand I held the world around<br>

I was, I was so crazy then to think that it could be<br>

I thought that I was hers, I believed she was for me<br>

But we, we never learn until it's too late<br>

We were two friends in love, Fanette and I<br>

The empty beach was warm deceitful in July<br>

If the sea recalls, the waves would surely say<br>

I stopped singing my songs for Fanette that day<br>

I saw, I saw them arm-in-arm enfolded by the sea<br>

They looked so much in love they never looked at me<br>

They saw, they saw me and they laughed, they stood and watched me cry<br>

And sang their little song, I cursed the summer sky<br>

You see, I'd like to tell you how<br>

They swam so well that day<br>

They swam so far away<br>

You'll never see them now<br>

Oh, no, no, no, no, no - no we never learn<br>

But let's talk of something else<br>

We were never two friends, Fanette and I<br>

The empty streets are cold and crying in July<br>

But when the waves are still I still can hear it yet<br>

I hear a little song<br>

I hear<br>

Fanette<br>
