lyrics
After all the summer days
Fade into fall
I’m still the one
in love
I feel the way, I did that day
Looking to you
But now you don’t
Look the same
You said goodbye
Like the moon setting down
I watched the tide go out.
My heart followed you, drifting away
But summer must fade, and fall comes again
Think of me, if you may,
as autumn nights chase away
our warm, floating, summer days.
Un à un, les jours d’été
s'estompent en automne
Je suis encore amoureuse.
Je me sens comme la première fois
que je t’ai vu, mais aujourd’hui tu as changé.
Tu m’as dit au revoir
comme la lune qui se couche,
et j’ai vu la mer se retirer.
Tu t’es éloigné et mon cœur t’a suivi,
mais l'été doit s’effacer et l’hiver revenir.
Quand l’automne gentiment
chasse la magie de l’été,
Pense à moi s’il te plaît.
