Edith Piaf - Lovers for a Day lyrics

Shine another gla**, make the hours pa** Working everyday 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 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 hide-away A place of their own – if just for one-day The walls were so bare, the carpets so thin But they took that room, and heaven walked in And I closed the door, and turned to depart With tears in my eyes, and tears in my heart Shine another gla**, make the hours pa** Working everyday in a cheap café Who am I to care? One more love affair Love is nothing new, I have work to do We found them next day, the way they had planned So quiet, so cold, but still hand in hand The sunshine of love, was all they possessed And so in the sunshine, we laid them to rest They sleep side by side, two children alone But I'm sure they found, a place of their own So why must I see, the ribbon she wore The glow on his face, when I closed the door Be still children, still, your shadows they start, The tears in my eyes, and tears in my heart Shine another gla** make the hours pa** Working everyday in a cheap café Everything is fine, ‘til I see that sign How can I forget? It says ‘Room To Let'
