The lyrics of ‘Mon Amour’

My love

Tell me what you’re thinking

If all this makes sense

If I bother you, I’m sorry

My love

Do you remember us,

from our first date?

It was beautiful, it was crazy

I love you

I do not know why

I repeat the scene

But it’s always the same ending that starts again

you don’t hear

My sorrow

What do we do with it?

Do you love me or not?

My love,

I will do everything I can:

an ocean on fire,

the impossible if you want it.

Oh my love

Come back to Paris!

I beg you, do it for us

I promise I understand.

I love you

I do not know why

I repeat the scene

But it’s always the same ending that starts again.

you don’t hear

My sorrow

What do we do with it?

Do you love me or not?

Tell me the place and I will wait for you there.

And, even if you don’t come, I will wait for you.

It’s stupid, I know, but I’ll do it.

Full of hope I will wait for you.

I love you

I do not know why

I repeat the scene

But it’s always the same ending that starts again.

you don’t hear

My sorrow

What do we do with it?

Do you love me or not?

Do you love me or not?

Do you love me or not?

Do you love me or not?

Or not?
