Songbird (mon âme) Lyrics

My songbird used to laugh and play

Then disappeared one February

I tried to call, tried to make her stay, but she flew

Then suddenly a void was born

And filled my empty life with scorn

Cursed the day my love was shorn, I withdrew

Tu me manques, mon Dieu

You are missing from me

J'ai peur d'être fou

Cuz I love you that much

Laisse-moi, laissez-moi

Laisse-moi, laissez-moi

Laisse-moi, laissez-moi

But don't leave me

I wandered through the lonely wood

Tried to sell my soul for a good mood

Bit off more than I could chew

I was haunted

By a voice that crept in

I wondered was it sweet or sin

To accept the drive to be whole again and be true

Tu me manques, mon Dieu

You are missing from me

J'ai peur d'être fou

Cuz I love you that much

Laisse-moi, laissez-moi

Laisse-moi, laissez-moi

Laisse-moi, laissez-moi

But don't leave me

And when the sun broke through the storm

I felt my love was reborn

Behind the smile my heart was torn as I grew

To believe that to be free, I had to lose

Just to see that standing right in front of me was you

Tu me manques, mon Dieu

You are missing from me

J'ai peur d'être fou

Cuz I love you that much

Laisse-moi, laissez-moi

Laisse-moi, laissez-moi

Laisse-moi, laissez-moi

But don't leave me

Laisse-moi, please leave me alone

Laisse-moi, please leave me alone

Laisse-moi, oh leave me alone

But don't leave me

Life's not fair, that much is true

Cuz sometimes I may think of you
