"I Wish You Love"
by C. Trenet
Goodbye
No more leaving with our chins,
This is where our story ends,
Never lovers, never friends.
Goodbye
Let our hearts call it a day,
But before you walk away,
I sincerely want to say:
"I wish you bluebirds in the spring,
To give your heart a song to sing,
And then a kiss,
but more than this,
I wish you love.
And in July, a lemonade
to cool you in some leafy glade.
I wish you health and more than wealth,
I wish you love."
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best,
my very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
And a cozy fire to keep you warm,
But most of all, when snowflakes fall,
I wish you love.
