Une femme avec toi

I used to hang out with some pretty weird guys
As light as the ash from their cigars
They threw parties at the Palace of Versailles
But they were just straw castles

And I was wasting my time in this golden desert
I was alone when I met you
The others were buried, but you were alive
You sang like a child sings

You were happy like an Italian
When he knows he’s got love and wine
And for the first time
I finally felt

A woman, woman, a woman with you
A woman, woman, a woman with you

You looked a bit like that old tune
Where white horses used to gallop
Your face was serious but your smile was bright
I walked straight into your light

Today, no matter what we do
We make love
Next to you, time seems so short
Because you’re a man and you’re kind
And you know how to make life beautiful

You’re happy like an Italian
When he knows he’s got love and wine
It’s always like the first time
When I finally became

A woman, woman, a woman with you
A woman, woman, a woman with you
A woman, woman, a woman with you
A woman, woman, a woman with you
A woman, woman, a woman with you
