I've seen it before
It happens all the time
Closing the door
You leave the world behind

I’m a man.
Can’t you see what I am?
I live and I breathe for you.
But what good does it do?
(80s but was a cover)

It doesn't pay, I'd love to say

But in the end we have to pay

A few from the 1970s

Bye bye baby it's been a sweet love
Though this feeling I can't change
But please don't take it so badly

We must begin to tell our young

There's a world waiting for you
This is a quest that's just begun

And when you wake up it's a new morning
The sun is shining it's a new morning

And with you I've found so many things
A love so new only you could bring
Can't you see it's you

Xxx xxx je suis folle de toi
Xxx xxx embrasse moi ce soir
