Ne Me Quitte Pas

Don't leave me
You must forget
Everything can be forgotten
That's already running away
Forget the time
Of misunderstandings
And the time wasted
Trying to figure out how
Forget those hours
That sometimes killed
With a barrage of whys
The heart of happiness
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me

I will offer you
Pearls of rain
From lands
Where it never rains
I will dig the earth
Even after my death
To cover your body
With gold and light
I will create a kingdom
Where love will be king
Where love will be law
Where you will be queen
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me

Don't leave me
I will invent for you
Nonsensical words
That you will understand
I will speak to you
Of those lovers
Who saw their hearts ignite
Twice
I will tell you
The story of that king
Who died for not
Being able to meet you
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me

We have often seen
The fire reignite
From the old volcano
That was thought too old
It seems
There are burnt lands
Yielding more wheat
Than the best April
And when evening comes
So that the sky flames
Do not the red and the black
Marry each other?
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me

Don't leave me
I will not cry anymore
I will not speak anymore
I will hide there
Watching you
Dance and smile
And listening to you
Sing and then laugh
Let me become
The shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your hand
The shadow of your dog
But
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
