lyrics

My only friend has disappeared into the night
Without even an explanation as to why

And it feels like a cloud of smoke has been pulled over my eyes

It's almost spring, and you can tell that very soon
The air will ring of little birds singing in tune

But the song playing in my heart is a lonely lullabye

And I'd like to forget her but

She was
My lover
My muse
My saviour

And I don't
Know for sure
Who I'll be
Without her

I can't believe that she really would up and leave
Now I'm all alone, this old house ain't no home

What times we had my darling
When I could still call you mine

Our honey days were meant to last until forever
I'd found a way to read your mind like a letter

How I wish the hands on the clock would return to a time
When I knew you better

I'm trying to forget her, but

She was
My lover
My muse
My saviour

And I don't
Know for sure
Who I'll be
Without her

I can't believe that she really would up and leave
Now I'm all alone, this old house ain't no home

What times we had my darling
When I could still call you mine

What times we had my darling
When I could still call you mine

Stay Tuned!
by Dominique Fils-Aimé

supported by 7 fans who also own “When I Could Still Call You Mine”

Modern (as opposed to retro) soul with a jazzy touch. Great voice, good songs, fantastic arrangements - very idiosyncratic approach! The chosen favorite works best when played directly after the preceding one, Where there Is Smoke ;-) Carsten Pieper
