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

rate me

<br>

Momma, do you see what I see<br>

On your knees and pray for me<br>

Mathilde's come back to me<br>

Charley, don't want another beer<br>

Tonight I'm gonna drink my tears<br>

Mathilde's come back to me<br>

Go ask the maid if she heard what I said<br>

Tell her to change the sheets on the bed<br>

Mathilde's come back to me<br>

Fellas, don't leave me tonight<br>

Tonight I'm going back to fight<br>

Wretched Mathilde's in sight<br>

My heart, my heart, stop beating so<br>

Just make as if you didn't know<br>

That Mathilde's come back to me<br>

My heart, I don't want you to say<br>

She's lovelier than when she went away<br>

Mathilde, whols come back to me<br>

My heart, stop being overjoyed<br>

Remember you were once destroyed<br>

By Mathilde, who's come back to me<br>

Fellas, please don't go away<br>

Tell me that I mustn't stay<br>

Mathilde's coming back today<br>

My hands, you'll start to shake again<br>

When you remember all the pain<br>

Mathilde's come back to me<br>

You'll want to beat her black and blue<br>

But don't do it, I beg of you<br>

Mathilde's come back to me<br>

My hands, remember all the years<br>

Remember when you caught my tears<br>

Mathilde's come back to me<br>

My hands, you'll want to touch her now<br>

But please try and be strong somehow<br>

Mathilde's here, she's coming now, now<br>

Momma, can you hear me yell<br>

Your baby boy's gone back to hell<br>

Mathilde's come back to me<br>

Charley, champagne right away<br>

I know you've been saving it for the holiday<br>

But Mathilde's come back to me<br>

Go ask the maid if she heard what I said<br>

Tell her to put the best sheets on the bed<br>

Matbilde's come back to me<br>

My friends, don't count on me no more<br>

I've gone and crashed through heaven's door<br>

My sweet Mathilde's here<br>

Once more, once more<br>

<br>
