I was nothing before still I stand here today
As a keeper of dreams 'till the night fades away
Je l'aime à mourir
You can tell me again all the reasons to leave
But with a touch of her hand, she can make me believe
That I belong here, yes, I belong here, je l'aime à mourir

Not a moment ago, I was only a man
But she fills me with more in the way no one can
Je l'aime à mourir
When she catches my eye all the light from the sun
Seems to wither and die next to all she's become
I am without fear and I would die here, je l'aime à mourir

It isn't fair, you know, why should I care?
There are a million just like me
It isn't fair, you know, why should she care?
And live to be... The world to me

She is all I've become, she is all that I need
And she makes me feel one with the air that I breathe
Je l'aime à mourir
Though sometimes we're apart, though sometimes I'm astray
It's the beat of her heart in the music I play
That keeps me sincere through all these long years, je l'aime à mourir

I could cry for her eyes like a child in the cold
And I will live by her side 'till the day I am old
Je l'aime à mourir
When you find someone strong, someone inside your heart
And when she takes you beyond "until death do us part"
You'll know what I mean, why I would die here, je l'aime à mourir

It isn't fair, you know, why should I care?
There are a million just like me
It isn't fair, you know, why should she care?
And live to be... The world to me

I was nothing before still I stand here today
As a keeper of dreams 'till the night fades away
Je l'aime à mourir
You can tell me again all the reasons to leave
But with a touch of her hand, she can make me believe
That I belong here and I will die here, je l'aime à mourir.
