Il est passé

He was just a stranger to me Though at first he hardly knew me His devotion, his emotion
Like an ocean swept right through me For a while he loved me sweetly
And it broke my heart completly
When my true love found a new love
And he left me so alone
He is gone away
And it’s all over now
Won’t waste a day
Wondering why or wondering how
Love didn’t last
And my world went astray
Time flew too fast
I will love another day
What’s past is past now
And he’s gone away
Once I couldn’t live without him
I was too in love to doubt him
Then my true love found a new love
Now I never think about him
Just sometimes as night is falling
In my heart I start recalling
How he told me, when he told me He would love me all my life
