Elle a dit
Édith Piaf
She Said
She said: "You know, it’s over for us!
What’s the point of holding on?
You gotta know how to keep your dignity
And I just can’t stand to see a man cry…
It’s better if we part as good friends,
Understand, help me out, and smile..."
So he did as she asked:
As he left, he sang in front of her
La-la-la...
She said: "You know, it’s over for us!
What’s the point of holding on?
You gotta know how to keep your dignity
And I just can’t stand to see a man cry..."
When he lay down alone in his big bed
Suddenly he realized
It would be harder than he thought,
And all alone in his bed, he cried…
Ah-ah-ah…
He said: "I can’t believe it’s over!
I feel like I’m gonna hold on…
It’s really nice to keep your dignity:
And it feels so good to cry
When I think about the day that’s coming,
The things I’ll have to hide,
I feel like I’ll never get used to it..."
To end it with dignity, he…
Aaaah-aaaah-aaaah…
All alone he cries into eternity...
