Autumn Rendez-Vous (Rendez-Vous D'Automne)

(Gérard Bourgeois/Jean-Max Rivière) adaptation anglaise Meredith



Now the summer days are ending, leaves are falling, red and gold

Now the warmth of love is fading and the nights are getting cold

From the east the wind is blowing, now the sky's no longer blue

Overhead the clouds are growing, summer's gone and so are you



You wanted to be free, love was just a game to you

And you never meant to be at this autumn rendez-vous



All the happiness life gave me changed to emptiness today

Now that you no longer love me, autumn's come, it's here to stay

Life seems empty now without you, it's not easy to forget

I may learn to live without you but I'll always feel regret



I would cry but it's no good, tears won't bring you back to me

Though I'd stop you if I could, I can't change what has to be



With the years I'll still remember and in time the hurt will go

I'll forget this sad September and be glad I loved you so.
