Jacques Brel - I Loved (J'aimais) lyrics
Your rating:
I loved all games and fairy tales As strangely odd as that may seem I loved firelight and witches' tales You see, you were there in my dreams I lived in a tower, cloud-top high To stop your love from passing by For this I simply had to do You see, I was waiting for you I loved the rocks, the ocean breeze And the hissing of the foam The wild, wild kiss of the roaring seas Now you had brought me home You leaped buildings in single bounds Although I well may ask you how You bayed the moon just like a hound I knew I adored you now You laced the night with raging storms You threw the lightning 'cross the skies You kissed my mouth with promises You burned me with your lies You loved me like a poet loves My nights were made of stars and fears Thinking that you would go away And leave me only with my tears I loved the towns where we made love And the hotels where we played games You thought I'd never live it down Yet you see, I've forgotten your name
