she was a mess today. a wreck. she felt so lost. never had she been so weak, so timid not knowing what to do. it was like she was on another side of the world, where she knew no one and had no guidance or safety around her. she felt like a little girl.
I used to know a little square
So long ago, when I was small
All summer long it had a fair
Wonderful fair with swings and all
I used to love my little fair
And at the close of everyday
I could be found, dancing around
A merry-go-round that used to play...
"Ah, mon amour
A toi toujours
Dans tes grands yeux
Rien que nous deux"
All summer long my little fair
Made everyday like a holiday
Night after night it used to play
And people came there from so far away
And everyone sang that little tune
All around town you heard it played
Even Pepi from Napoli
He sang to Marie
This serenade...
"Ah, mon amour
A toi toujours
Dans tes grands yeux
Rien que nous deux"
All summer long my little fair
Made everyday like a holiday
Night after night it used to play
And people came there from so far away
And everyone sang that little tune
All around town you heard it played
Even Pepi from Napoli
He sang to Marie
This serenade...
"Ah, mon amour
A toi toujours
Dans tes grands yeux
Rien que nous deux"
I can't forget my little square
Even though I'm so far away
I can't forget my little fair
Maybe it's still there, still there today
I sometimes hear that little tune
playing in a dream of long ago
And in my brain runs the refrain
That old French refrain I used to know...
"Ah, mon amour
A toi toujours
Dans tes grands yeux
Rien que nous deux"
Jeff Buckley's Je N'en Connais Pas La Fin
I don't know what the french words mean but the way Jeff sings it, the mood, the emotion, was how she felt this afternoon.
