Imagine - Randy Crawford

Imagine, imagine Imagine, imagine Pour demain j'imagine Un monde qui rimerait avec toi et moi Sur le bord de la rive Nos destins se dessinent et s'écoulent au-delà Au-delà de la peine Qui déborde des plaines qu'on foulé les vainqueurs J'imagine mon amour que viendra notre tour en des jours meilleurs Et si on rêvait encore une fois Imagine, imagine Tout ce qu'on pourrait tisser toi et moi Imagine, imagine Et si l'on filait l'avenir dans nos bras Imagine, imagine À l'image de toi un monde plus doux que celui-là Au diable nos routines À nous deux, à nous mille, à nous tous à la fois Tout ce qu'on imagine Forge nos habitudes, on est ce que l'on croit Et le monde s'illumine Un avenir se dessine, pour les mômes d'ici-bas Je lis sur ton visage, cet espoir indicible Que rien n'emportera Et si on rêvait encore une fois Imagine, imagine Tout ce qu'on pourrait tisser toi et moi Imagine, imagine Et si l'on filait l'avenir dans nos bras Imagine, imagine À l'image de toi, un monde plus doux que celui-là Celui-là Je ne veux plus subir Je ne veux même pas en rire ni me dire c'est comme ça Sur nos petits navires l'âme et les coeurs chavirent Tous les marins savent ça Et s'il est un avenir, il nous faudra l'écrire À l'encre de nos choix Ferme les yeux et inspire, l'éveil n'est qu'un sourire Sous une larme de joie Et si on rêvait encore une fois Imagine, imagine Tout ce qu'on pourrait tisser toi et moi Imagine, imagine Et si l'on filait l'avenir dans nos bras Imagine, imagine À l'image de toi un monde plus doux que celui-là Et si on révait encore une fois Imagine, imagine Tout ce qu'on pourrait tisser toi et moi Imagine, imagine Et si l'on filait l'avenir dans nos bras Imagine, imagine À l'image de toi un monde plus doux que celui-là Celui-là Imagine, imagine

Je cache dans mon palais Comme un gout sucré salé Moi j'ai fait tout ce qu'il fallait D'un sourire je suis allée Au gout de moi même au-delà Le bonheur à son haut de l'arme Je ne dis jamais jamais Et entre 4 murs je m'évade Puis je m'imagine imagine Courant vers toi faisant le premier pas Mon coeur est fragile fragile Si tu le touche ne le casse pas Pour être libre J'ai cherché le chemin à suivre Puis j'ai lu dans le livre Qu'il fallait laisser vivre Autour de moi tout ce mélange Est-ce moi ou les autres qui changent? La vérité glisse entre mes phalanges J'ai compris le tableau de Michel Ange, maintenant Moi je m'imagine imagine Courant vers toi faisant le premier pas Mon coeur est fragile fragile Si tu le touche ne le casse pas Ils vont tous pleurer Je peux te voir si je veux Le temps d'une trève Passe du cauchemar au rêve Ma voix s'élève Entre mes aveux et mes voeux Que quand la nuit s'achève Un nouveau soleil se lève Moi je m'imagine imagine Courant vers toi faisant le premier pas Mon coeur est fragile fragile Si tu le touche ne le casse pas

If you disrespect anybody that you run in to How in the world do you think anybody's s'posed to respect you If you don't give a heck 'bout the man with the bible in his hand Just get out the way, and let the gentleman do his thing You the kind of gentleman that want everything your way Take the sheet off your face, boy, it's a brand new day Respect yourself, respect yourself If you don't respect yourself Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na na na na Respect yourself, respect yourself If you're walking 'round think'n that the world owes you something cause You're here you goin' out the world backwards like you did when you Put your hand on your mouth when you cough, that'll help the solution Oh, you cuss around women and you don't even know their names and you Dumb enough to think that'll make you a big ol man

Memories serve, only to show What came before, wouldn't have grown Maybe the past, has brought me to this Maybe this time, love will be missed I hear my heart calling for you And I believe you feel it too I want something permanent, like the stars in the sky Permanent, like the mountain high Permanent, as time goes by, I want something I can count on Permanent, like the sun and the rain Permanent, like a burning flame Permanent, I'll say it again I want something that won't change Respecting yourself, reaching down deep That's how I'll find, a love so complete It became clear, the very, very first time It's more than a dream, that you could be mine I hear my heart calling for you and I believe you feel it, too I want something permanent, like the stars in the sky Permanent, like the mountain high Permanent, as time goes by, I want something I can count on Permanent, like the sun and the rain Permanent, like a burning flame Permanent, I'll say it again, say it again, say it again I want something that will never change What's my only way, I could never say that I don't feel the same You've brought me somewhere I can feel safe Don't you feel it, don't you feel it I want something, say it again, say it again Like the stars in the sky Like the mountain high, as time goes by I want something that will never change I can count on, like the stars in the sky Permanent I'll say it again, I want something that will never change I want something permanent, yes I do Permanent, yes I do, gonna say it again, say it again Permanent, like a burning flame, like the sun and rain I want something that won't change

No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets All the things That went wrong For at last I have learned to be strong No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets For the grief doesn't last It is gone I've forgotten the past And the memories I had I no longer desire Both the good and the bad I have flung in a fire And I feel in my heart That the seed has been sown It is something quite new It's like nothing I've known No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets All the things that went wrong For at last I have learned to be strong No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets For the seed that is new It's the love that is growing for you

What's it all about, Alfie Is it just for the moment we live What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie Are we meant to take more than we give Or are we meant to be kind And if only fools are kind, Alfie Then I guess it is wise to be cruel And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie What will you lend on an old golden rule As sure as I believe There's a heaven above, Alfie, I know there's something much more Something even non-believers can believe in I believe in love, Alfie Without true love we just exist, Alfie Until you find the love you've missed, you're nothing, Alfie When you walk, let your heart lead the way And you'll find love any day, Alfie Alfie

She only smiles He only tells her That she's the flowers The wind And spring In all her splendour Sweetly surrendering The love That innocence brings Almaz Pure and simple Born in a world Where love survives Now men will want her 'Cause life don't haunt her Almaz You lucky, lucky thing Now I watch closely And I watch wholly I can't imagine Love so rare She's young and tender But will life bend her I look around Is she everywhere? Almaz Pure and simple Born in a world Where love survives Now men will want her 'Cause life don't haunt her Almaz You lucky, lucky thing He throws her kisses She shares his wishes I'm sure he's keen Without a doubt With love so captive So sorely captive I ask if I could play the part Almaz Pure and simple Born in a world Where love survives Now men will want her 'Cause life don't haunt her Almaz You lucky, lucky thing Almaz You lucky, lucky thing Almaz You lucky, lucky thing
