Françoise Hardy
LET MY NAME BE SORROW
Paroles et musique: Bernard Estardy, Martine Habib, 1972


When I watch you sadly calling
When all you can say is "no"
Let my name be sorrow
Let my name be sorrow

When I long to see you smiling
When your fear just won't let go
Let my name be sorrow
Let my name be sorrow

Once we had laughs as big as lives
We had lies as sweet as you
Till one morning for us two
All was over

When the dawn is softly showing
Darkness lingers on your brow
Let my name be sorrow
Let my name be sorrow

When the roses sweetly growing
Lose their petals one by one
Let my name be sorrow
Let my name be sorrow

Once we had laughs as big as lives
We had lies as sweet as you
Till one morning for us two
All was over

You don't have to say "I love you"
When your heart is far behind
Just let my name be sorrow
Let my name be sorrow
