L'Amour Nous Emporte
Charles Aznavour
Love Takes Us Away
Close the curtains, my dear
So we can explore the world
In this cozy little space
In the dim light
Once the door is shut
The journey has begun
The boat that carries us
Is in the bedroom
The bed is still anchored
In the bay of our desires
And your top is slipping
As we wait for pleasure
When we cast off the lines
We're swept by the current
While I steer the ship
Your hair flows in the breeze
Love takes us away
Where it wants
When it wants
Love takes us away
Let’s follow it
Just the two of us
Suddenly it sways and rolls
The bed creaks in the wind
And our two hearts, with the waves
Move in sync
It’s a storm in our heads
We’re caught between sky and sea
It’s the wind, it’s the tempest
And you cling to my skin
I whisper, you drift
Love pushes me where I go
Sometimes in the trough of the wave
Sometimes lifted to the peak
But little by little it calms
And at the harbor of our love
It’s a triumphant return
At the hour when day breaks
Love takes us away
Where it wants
When it wants
Love takes us away
Let’s follow it
Just the two of us
