(Véronique Sanson) adaptation anglaise Gary Osborne



Strands of light upon a bedroom floor

Change the night through an open door.

I'm awake but this is not my home, for the first time I'm not alone.

Reaching out, I touch another skin

Breathing out as he is breathing in.

Deep inside, I feel my soul aflame, can my life ever be the same ?



I should have told him, I'd do anything if I could hold him

For just another day, for just another day.

His love is something I will not forget.

When I am far away, when I am far away

I feel the rainfall of another planet, another planet.



Close together in the afterglow, I remember how his loving flow

Turned the key into another world, made a woman of a simple girl.

Daylight comes as we both know it must

Soon my fantasy will turn to dust.

But I would give him anything he asked if my first love could be my last.



I should have told him, I'd do anything if I could hold him

For just another day, for just another day.

His love is something I will not regret.

When I am far away, when I am far away

I feel the rainfall of another planet, another planet.
