The clock will tick away the hours one by one
Then the time will come when all the waiting's done
The time when you return and find me here and run
Straight to my waiting arms.
If it takes forever, I will wait for you
For a thousand summers I will wait for you
Till you're back beside me, till I'm holding you
And forever I will wait for you.
Anywhere you wander, anywhere you go
Every day remember how I love you so
In your heart believe what in my heart I know
That forevermore I'll wait for you.

Quand on s'aime
On peut marcher
Sous la pluie Prendre le thé À minuit Passer l'été À Paris Quand on s'aime On peut se croire à New-York
Cinq heures du soir, five o'clock Ou dans un square de Bangkok Quand on s'aime On peut marcher sur la mer
Danser autour de la Terre Se balancer dans les airs On peut tout faire Quand on s'aime Quand on s'aime Écoute, écoute le temps
Moi, moi je le trouve hésitant Puisqu'il varie tout le temps Entre beau fixe et printemps On peut voler de soleil en soleil, nuit et jour Quand on s'aime Oui, quand on s'aime On peut marcher sur la mer
Prendre le thé à minuit Passer l'été à Paris Quand on s'aime On peut se croire à New-York
Cinq heures du soir, five o'clock Ou dans un square de Bangkok Quand on s'aime |
When you're in loveYou can walk in the rain
Have a tea at midnight
Spend the summer in Paris
When you're in love
You can think you're in New York
Five o'clock in the afternoon, cinq heures
Or in a square in Bangkok
When you're in love
You can walk on the sea
Dance around the Earth
Swing in thin air
You can do anything
When you're in love
When you're in love
Listen, listen to the weather
It seems to me it hesitates
Since he changes all the time
Between set fair and spring
You can fly from one sun to another night and day
When you're in love
Yes, when you're in love.
You can walk in the rain
Have a tea at midnight
Spend the summer in Paris
When you're in love
You can think you're in New York
Five o'clock in the afternoon, cinq heures
Or in a square in Bangkok
When you're in love
You can walk the Earth
Or dance around the sea
Mix up summer and winter
When you're in love

Personal note:
On hearing of the passing of Michel Legrand, I sent Nana Mousklouri the above clip (Quand on s'aime) and she replied:
Merci cher Jonathan, so sweet of you.
My story with Michel started In 64 with Les Parapluies de Cherbourg (I will Wait for You) I was not in the film, but recorded it in French, English, Italian, Spanish, German and Japanese.
Here is the German version.
Thank you for thinking. Quand on s’aime is one of the duo songs wrote and recorded with me in french with Eddy Marnay, a wonderful writer.
With love and affection
je vous embrasse
