Quand Revient La Nuit (Mr. Lonely)
Johnny Hallyday · CD Story [2007]
La nuit, quand revient la nuit
Tout seul je m'ennuie, je pense à toi
Quand revient la nuit, la lune qui brille
Tu la vois aussi, mais trop loin de moi
Je suis un soldat comme d'autres là-bas
J'attends le jour qui verra mon retour
Quand revient la nuit tout seul je m'ennuie
Ici le temps n'en finit pas
Je vais tout seul pour cacher
Le chagrin que j'ai d'être séparé
Bien sûr j'ai changé, ah, oui, changé
Plus fort que jamais, je veux t'aimer
Je suis un soldat comme d'autres là-bas
Qui a laissé son amour à regret
La nuit, quand revient la nuit
Je rêve au jour de mon retour.
