Si le temps me le permettait

If Time Allowed Me
Julie Zenatti

If time allowed me
Oh, I would be close to you
We would spend days together
Sitting under the same roof
If time allowed me
I would have the choice
Fate so whimsical
Doesn't even see us

In secret we would meet
Outside without light
I would tell you how much I missed you
But that I needed a change of scenery
I would still write words
On the refrigerator
You would curse me
But would do it to please me

I would tell the willows
To bend under your steps
Laugh on your shoulder
Like when others around
Didn't understand
I would bring you this hand
And those eyes you loved
The one you couldn't cherish
When your days blushed

Life has tested me
I killed my love
I tried, I couldn't bear
The blows anymore
When one evening, he fell asleep
By the embers
In his glass of whiskey
I poured poison
I left and ran
In all directions
Today they are looking for me
To throw me in prison

If time
If time allowed me
