Petite fleur
Fausto Papetti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stay with me
Why must we say goodbye
Darling there's a time to love
And a time to cry

Though I know
All too soon tears may fall
And leave this to recall
That you kissed me today
So let's love her while we may
For tomorrow somehow
Comes a time to regret
and not now

Stay with me
Don't let love pass us by
Darling there's a time to love
And a time to cry

This shining hour
is too sweet to resist

Love can laugh too I know
And stay

Stay with me
Why must we say goodbye
Darling there's a time to love
And a time to cry

This shining hour
is too sweet to resist

Love can laugh too I know
And stay

Stay with me
Don't let love pass us by




Darling there's a time to love
And a time to cry
