Magnolias For Ever
Claude François
Magnolias For Ever
Your girl is crying in the night
Is she wrong or is she right
I can't do anything about it
Your girl is shining in the night
Burning burning burning bright
I don't know how to do it anymore
Tell her that I'm like her
That I still love the songs
That talk about love and swallows
Of sorrow, wind, shivers
Tell her that I think of her
When they talk to me about magnolias
When I hear these new musics
That sound like combat noises
Your girl is crying in the night
Is she wrong, is she right
I don't know how to do it anymore
She's so strong that she breaks
She was proud, she's submissive
Like a love that lets go
That breaks and doesn't bend
You look like her
When she trembles
And in your voice
I sometimes hear
A bit of her voice
She resembles you
When she trembles
When she cries
There in the heart
Of flowering trees
Tell her that I'm afraid for her
In the basements when it's dark
When I hear these new musics
Where despair comes to cry
Tell her that I think of her
In a large field of magnolias
And that if all the flowers are beautiful
I often burn my fingers
Hundreds of magnolias
Magnolias like before
I don't know how to do it anymore
The magnolias are always there
She resembles all the girls
When they love like that
Whether they're mean or shy
Poor violets or magnolias
She loves the vast humid skies
And the deserts where it's cold
Sometimes she cries when I arrive
And she laughs when she leaves
If you go into the storm
If you go, you'll see her
Tell her that I'm like her
That I still love the songs
That talk about love and swallows
Of sorrow, wind, shivers
