I Loved (j'aimais) Lyrics - Singles - Jacques Brel Is Alive And Well And Living In Paris

I loved all games and fairy tales 

As strangely odd as that may seem 

I loved firelight and witches' tales 

You see, you were there in my dreams 

I lived in a tower, cloud-top high 

To stop your love from passing by 

For this I simply had to do 

You see, I was waiting for you 

I loved the rocks, the ocean breeze 

And the hissing of the foam 

The wild, wild kiss of the roaring seas 

Now you had brought me home 

You leaped buildings in single bounds 

Although I well may ask you how 

You bayed the moon just like a hound 

I knew I adored you now 

You laced the night with raging storms 

You threw the lightning 'cross the skies 

You kissed my mouth with promises 

You burned me with your lies 

You loved me like a poet loves 

My nights were made of stars and fears 

Thinking that you would go away 

And leave me only with my tears 

I loved the towns where we made love 

And the hotels where we played games 

You thought I'd never live it down 

Yet you see, I've forgotten your name
