Mon Amie La Rose

We are very little
And my friend the rose
Told me this morning

At dawn I was born
Baptized with dew
I blossomed
Happy and in love
In the sun's rays
I closed at night
I woke up old
Yet I was very beautiful
Yes, I was the most beautiful
Of the flowers in your garden

We are very little
And my friend the rose
Told me this morning

See the god who made me
Makes me bow my head
And I feel like I'm falling
And I feel like I'm falling
My heart is almost bare
I have one foot in the grave
I am no longer
You admired me yesterday
And I will be dust
Forever tomorrow

We are very little
And my friend the rose
Died this morning

The moon tonight
Watching over my friend
In my dream I saw
Dazzling and naked
Her soul dancing
Far beyond the clouds
And smiling at me

Believe those who can believe
I need hope
Otherwise I am nothing

Or very little
It's my friend the rose
Who said it yesterday morning
