Only you was missing
Click to see the original lyrics (French)
A necklace of bitter oranges
A stole made of glace
An unprayed-for answer
A star made of earth
And within this strange smile
The face of an angel, reminding me that down here
(chorus)
Only you was missing
So the fight wouldn't be fought
I give the tears back
All the tears that none can choose
I give you my soul
If you don't take it
The breath of a singing water
A smell of mint
The gentleness of a slow race
The final waiting
Draw me a mystery
That can't be undone
Reminding me that down here
(chorus)
All my future's reflecting in a mirror of memories
Made me forget that my future is nearly here
Only you was missing
So the fight wouldn't be fought
I take the tears
All the tears of joy we cry
Now that my soul
Remembers you
Only you was missing
