[Édith Piaf - Lovers for a Day lyrics]
Shine another glass, make the hours pass
Working everyday in a cheap café
Who am I to care, for a love affair?
Still I can’t forget, I can see them yet
They came hand in hand, why can’t I forget?
For they’d seen the sign
That said ‘Room To Let’
The sunshine of love, was deep in their eyes
So young, oh so young - too young to be wise
They wanted a place, a small hide-away
A place of their own – if just for one day
The walls were so bare, the carpets so thin
But they took that room, and heaven walked in
And I closed the door, and turned to depart
With tears in my eyes, and tears in my heart
Shine another glass, make the hours pass
Working everyday in a cheap café
Who am I to care? One more love affair
Love is nothing new, I have work to do
We found them next day
The way they had planned
So quiet, so cold, but still hand in hand
The sunshine of love, was all they possessed
And so in the sunshine, we laid them to rest
They sleep side by side, two children alone
But, I’m sure they found
A place of their own
So why must I see, the ribbon she wore
The glow on his face, when I closed the door
Be still children, still, your
Shadows they start
The tears in my eyes, and tears in my heart
Shine another glass make the hours pass
Working everyday in a cheap café
Everything is fine, ‘til I see that sign
How can I forget? It says ‘Room To Let’
Working everyday in a cheap café
Who am I to care, for a love affair?
Still I can’t forget, I can see them yet
They came hand in hand, why can’t I forget?
For they’d seen the sign
That said ‘Room To Let’
The sunshine of love, was deep in their eyes
So young, oh so young - too young to be wise
They wanted a place, a small hide-away
A place of their own – if just for one day
The walls were so bare, the carpets so thin
But they took that room, and heaven walked in
And I closed the door, and turned to depart
With tears in my eyes, and tears in my heart
Shine another glass, make the hours pass
Working everyday in a cheap café
Who am I to care? One more love affair
Love is nothing new, I have work to do
We found them next day
The way they had planned
So quiet, so cold, but still hand in hand
The sunshine of love, was all they possessed
And so in the sunshine, we laid them to rest
They sleep side by side, two children alone
But, I’m sure they found
A place of their own
So why must I see, the ribbon she wore
The glow on his face, when I closed the door
Be still children, still, your
Shadows they start
The tears in my eyes, and tears in my heart
Shine another glass make the hours pass
Working everyday in a cheap café
Everything is fine, ‘til I see that sign
How can I forget? It says ‘Room To Let’
