As If You Were Here

Tonight, tonight I've had enough of seeing the absence
Enough of hearing the silence
Tonight is a gala evening
I pretend as if you were here…
 
I'll go to open and it will no longer be the wind
But your beautiful smile, a little shy, a little distant
You will tell me: "Good evening,
It's been a while since we've seen each other,
A long day of fog where I was missing"
 
The radio will sing these songs, stupid but pretty
As if you were here, and I will sing too
As if you were here, the cat will purr very loudly
The chimney will be on; there will be flowers for decoration
As if you were here, it will be warm, it will be good
As if you were here, there will be life in the house
 
And then, and then slowly
Evening will fall upon us
You will pretend to be detached from everything
You will have the blasé air of great soldiers on nights of hell
I would have the amused look of an accomplice or a mother
 
The radio will sing these lovely love songs
As if you were here, here in my everyday life
As if you were there, we will dine alone together
I'll tell you whatever, but good, but strong, but kneeling
As if you were there, the wine will have the taste of wine
Your voice will truly be your voice; my hands will be again my hands
 
As if you were there, the lights will soften
As if you were there, the bravos will wake up
And we will make love, I would live it, I would be me
Until dawn, as if... you were here.
