Help
Franck Pourcel and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You left one yesterday
You took my heart away
And now I dread each newborn day
Can I help it?
Can I help it?
Along each thorough fair
While people stop and stare
I talk to you but you're not there
Can I help it, sweetheart?
I try to sleep
My dreams are haunted
By a million stars that pry
How can I sleep?
Your eyes look just that way
The day we said goodbye...

I tried forgetting you
I tried to hurt you too




But now I find I still love you
Can I help it, sweetheart?

Line by Line Meaning

You left one yesterday
You chose to leave me recently


You took my heart away
You broke my heart when you left


And now I dread each newborn day
Every new day is a struggle now that you're gone


Can I help it?
Can I do anything to change how I feel?


Can I help it?
Can I control my emotions?


Along each thorough fair
Everywhere I go


While people stop and stare
People notice that I'm not the same without you


I talk to you but you're not there
I still try to communicate with you even though you're not around


Can I help it, sweetheart?
Is there anything I can do to bring you back?


I try to sleep
I attempt to rest


My dreams are haunted
My dreams are filled with thoughts of you


By a million stars that pry
So many memories of us together invade my mind


How can I sleep?
How can I find rest with all of these emotions?


Your eyes look just that way
I can still picture the way your eyes looked when we said goodbye


The day we said goodbye...
The day our relationship ended


I tried forgetting you
I made an effort to move on from you


I tried to hurt you too
I wanted to make you feel how I was feeling


But now I find I still love you
Despite everything, I realize I still have feelings for you


Can I help it, sweetheart?
Is there anything I can do to change the way things are?

Desde muy joven aprendí a escuchar esta música,me encanta,dejé de hacerlo por no tener a mi familia ,porque soy la última de todos hermanos 6 y 2 mis padres ,se fueron jóvenes tengo 75 años y recién nuevamente escucho,al principio con mucho dolor llore muchísimo porque me recordó a mi núcleo familiar , y no pude soportar la tristeza, escuchábamos siempre está música ,ahora hoy recién lo supere con amor paz y resignación ,algún día los seguiré , GRACIAS 🇵🇪

Comencé a escuchar a Franck Pourcel a la edad de 12 años, me conquistó en el acto. Me acompañó en toda mi infancia, juventud y hoy con 63 años en el 2020 sigo disfrutando de este gran maestro y otros tan magníficos como él tales como Paul Mauriat, Bert Kaempfert, Ray Conniff, etc que llenan mi vida de armonía y felicidad con esas melodías inmortales.
