Le Temps Des Fleurs
Vicky Leandros
The Time of Flowers
1. In a tavern in old London
Where strangers gathered
Our voices filled with joy rose from the shadows
And we listened to our hearts sing
It was the time of flowers
We knew no fear
The days ahead tasted like honey
Your arm took mine
Your voice followed mine
We were young and believed in heaven
La, la, la...
{We were young and believed in heaven}
2. And then came the days of mist
With strange noises and tears
How many nights without a moon I spent
Searching for the tavern in my heart
Just like in the time of flowers
Where we lived without fear
Where each day tasted like honey
Your arm took mine
Your voice followed mine
We were young and believed in heaven
La, la, la......
{We were young and believed in heaven}
3. I imagined chasing away the mist
I believed I could turn back time
And I invented moonlight
Where we both sang as before
It was the time of flowers
We knew no fear
The days ahead tasted like honey
Your arm took mine
Your voice followed mine
We were young and believed in heaven
La, la, la......
{We were young and believed in heaven}
4. And tonight I am in front of the door
Of the tavern where you will no longer come
And the song that the night brings me
My heart no longer recognizes
It was the time of flowers
We knew no fear
The days ahead tasted like honey
Your arm took mine
Your voice followed mine
We were young and believed in heaven
La la la...
{We were young and believed in heaven}
