In my heart,
My dancing footsteps,
Though alone
Your arms remain around me,
The music of our early years.
I heard the song the other night
The first cord pierced my heart
I was that girl of twenty-one
Oui, "Ma Vie"
“Tu es une petite fille”
Oui, j’étais trop raisonnable
But I knew no other way
I made choices from my vocabulary,
Words that were not yours,
Words you could not, would not understand.
Are you still alive?
Do you still think of me?
Does the summer moon
Bring me to you
As the music brings you to me?
"Ma Vie"
Ours was joy and sorrow,
Conflict never resolved.
O, we tried!
We fought for each other,
I not hard enough
Because my “raisonable” self knew,
Though you remain steeled in my memory,
In the cavern of my heart,
You were not the one to
"Dance me to the end of love"
