Lovers for a Day Songtext
von Édith Piaf

Shine another glass, make the hours pass
Working every day in a cheap café
Who am I to care for a love affair?
Still, I can′t forget, I can see them yet

They came in hand in hand
Why can't I forget?
For they′d seen the sign
That said room to let
The sunshine of love was deep in their eyes
So young, oh so young
Too young to be wise

They wanted a place a small hideaway
A place of their own if just for one day
The rose was so pale the covers so thin
But they took that room
And have them walk me in
And I closed the door and turned to the card
With tears in my eyes and tears in my heart


Shine another glass, make the hours pass
Working every day in a cheap café
Who am I to care? One more love affair
Love is nothing new, I have what to do

We found them next day, the way they have planned
So white so cold but still hand in hand
The sunshine of love was all that they possessed
And so in the sunshine, we let them to rest

They sleep side by side
To ship run alone
But I'm sure they found a place of their own

So why must I see the revenchy wall
The glow on his face when I closed the door
Be still children, still
Your shadows placed out
The tears in my eyes and tears in my heart

Shine another glass, make the hours pass
Working every day in a cheap café
Everything is fine till I see that side
How can I forget, it says room to let
