Shine another glass, make the hours pass Working every day 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 Above they've 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 wall was so bare, the carpet 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 glass, make the hours pass Working every day in a cheap café Who am I to care, one more love affair Love is nothing new, I had 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 let 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 glass, make the hours pass Working every day in a cheap café Everything is fine, 'til I see that sign How can I forget: it says "Room to let" Et je me rappelle Avoir refermé Dans le petit jour La chambre d'hôtel Des amants d'un jour Mais ils m'ont planté Tout au fond du cœur Un goût de leur soleil Et tant de couleurs Que ça m'a fait mal, Que ça m'a fait mal...
Moi j'essuie les verres Au fond du café J'ai bien trop à faire Pour pouvoir rêver Mais dans ce décor Banal à pleurer Y a toujours dehors... ... La chambre à louer...
