Dans mon HLM (live 95)-Renaud

In a long and involved conversation with myself I saw precious things come into view And I poured through the files taken off my mental shelf I dusted off some memories of you Then I thought about the times when all the fair was green How the phoenix of our love first flapped it's silver wings All the urgency and passion of each new day as it happened And how it all mellowed as it grew I remember the times that our laughter would explode And how you would turn to hide your smile And then the hours of silence while the perfumed candle glowed And both of us meandered on for miles I remember the time I said I really had to go I remember the tears that filled your eyes Then I touched your hand and told you that it really was a lie And though you never knew it dear I cried Well it's amazing how time can so softly change your ways And make you look at things that can't be seen And how the years that roll by can start you listening Not just to what they say But what they mean So forgive me my dear if I seem preoccupied And if the razor edge of youth filled love is gone But we're both a little older our relationship has grown Not just in how it's shaped But how it's shown So forgive me my dear if I seem preoccupied And if the razor edge of youth filled love is gone But we're both a little older and our relationship has grown Not just in how it's shaped But how it's shown
