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

rate me

<br>

I loved all games and fairy tales<br>

As Strangely odd as that may seem<br>

I loved firelight and witches' tales<br>

You see, you were there in my dreams<br>

I lived in a tower, cloud-top high<br>

To stop your love from passing by<br>

For this I simply had to do<br>

You see, I was waiting for you<br>

I loved the rocks, the ocean breeze<br>

And the hissing of the foam<br>

The wild, wild kiss of the roaring seas<br>

Now you had brought me home<br>

You leaped buildings in single bounds<br>

Although I well may ask you how<br>

You bayed the moon just like a hound<br>

I knew I adored you now<br>

You laced the night with raging storms<br>

You threw lightning 'cross the skies<br>

You kissed my mouth with promises<br>

You burned me with your lies<br>

You loved me like a poet loves<br>

My nights were made of stars and fears<br>

Thinking that you would go away<br>

And leave me with only my tears<br>

I loved the towns where we made love<br>

And the hotels where we played games<br>

You thought I'd never live it down<br>

Yet you see, I've forgotten your name<br>

<br>
