Andy Williams & Claudine Longet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me
I find complete love
Without your sweet love, what would life be?
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
Comme l'argile, l'insecte fragile
L'esclave docile, je t'appartiens
De tout mon tre, tu es le seul ma"tre
Je dois me soumettre, je t'appartiens
To you I'm praying, hear what I'm saying
Please, let your heart beat
For me, just me
So never leave me lonely
Tell me, you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
