AT SWANN'S PLACE

Author: Patrick LOISEAU
Composer: Michel CYWIE


We forget
Yesterday is so far from today
But it often happens to me
To still dream of the teenager
That I am no longer
We smile
Looking back at the yellowed photos
The somewhat too confident air
That we take at sixteen
And that we do our best
To appear older


I would love to take a walk back to Swann's place
To see my first love who used to meet me
Under the oak tree
And let herself be kissed on the cheek
I wouldn't want to go back the way I came
And yet I would pay dearly to relive a single moment
The time of happiness
In the shadow of a blooming girl.


We forget
And then one day a perfume is enough
For us to suddenly find
The magic of a morning
And we forget the future
For a few memories.


And I'm going to take a walk back to Swann's place
To see my first love who used to meet me
Under the oak tree
And let herself be kissed on the cheek
I wouldn't want to go back the way I came
And yet I would pay dearly to relive a single moment
The time of happiness
In the shadow of a blooming girl.
