Midnight Blues (L'Heure Bleue)

Francoise Hardy · One-Nine-Seven-Zero [1970]

(Françoise Hardy) adaptation anglaise Pierre Tubbs



There's a time of night when I come alive getting near

The hurry and the heartache of day disappear

Like a curtain of dreams, giving forth and so it seems

I must be getting ready to lose my midnight blues

The night is made for lovers and you're here with me

The moon is bright, the night is warm and it's for free

I don't like the day, I get bored in every way

And if I had the choice, I would choose my midnight blues



If you live for the day, you know what I mean

Those who live for the night can hang on to a dream



Midnight is the time that I love to love you

And nothing could be better if you feel the same way too

When the hands on the clock, travel round and meet at the top

I know I'll never live without feeling midnight blues

And let me tell you how I need midnight blues.
