Sweet Love
Sweet love - to love, like I love youSweet love - to love, like I love you
Since you have been around
I only think of you
You take up all my time
You're all that I expect1
I so need to love you
to understand you, to be loved
to take you in my arms
And surely you know why
Sweet love - to love, like I love you
Sweet love - to love, like I love you
We must walk hand in hand
to better get one another2
to avoid forgetting
all that comes from the past
And once again
It might be the last time
It is easy for you
and it is, for me, too3
Sweet love - to love, like I love you
Sweet love - to love, like I love you
Love doesn't often come
knocking at the right time4
When it does come to you
' gotta know how to receive it5
We have that special chance
since we are together
No need to ponder what to do
just let Time do its thing6
Sweet love - to love, like I love you
Sweet love - to love, like I love you
- 1. you to be
- 2. comprehend what the other means
- 3. lit. 'It is easy for me
- 4. implied 'knocking on one's door'
- 5. here, the omission of the 'you' works both to mirror the original ('faut', short for 'il faut') and to round the syllables to 8, instead of an uneven 9
- 6. lit. one must give time for Time to act
