I was nothing before, still I stand here today As a keeper of dreams, till the night fades away Je l'aime à mourir You can tell me again, all the reasons to leave But with a touch of her hand, she can make me believe That I belong here, yes I belong here Je l'aime à mourir Not a moment ago, I was only a man But she fills me with more, in a way no one can Je l'aime à mourir When she catches my eye, all the light from the sun Seems to wither and die, next to all she's become I am without fear, and I would die here Je l'aime à mourir It isn't fair, you know Why should I care? There are a million just like me It isn't fair, you know Why should she care, And live to be, the world to me She is all I've become, she is all that I need And she makes me feel one, with the air that I breathe Je l'aime à mourir Sometimes we're apart, Sometimes I'm astray It's the beat of her heart, in the music I play That keeps me sincere, through all these long years Je l'aime à mourir I could cry for her eyes, like a child in the cold And I will live by her side, till the day I am old Je l'aime à mourir When you find someone strong, someone inside your heart And when she takes you beyond, "until death do us part" You'll know what I mean, why I would die here Je l'aime à mourir It isn't fair, you know Why should I care? There are a million just like me It isn't fair, you know Why should she care, And live to be, the world to me I was nothing before, still I stand here today As a keeper of dreams, till the night fades away Je l'aime à mourir You can tell me again, all the reasons to leave But with a touch of her hand, she can make me believe That I belong here, I would die here Je l'aime à mourir
