Plaisir D' Amour

Singer - Joan Baez

Plaisir d'amour
Ne dure qu'un moment
Chagrin d'amour
Dure toute la vie

The joys of love
Are but a moment long
The pain of love
Endures the whole life long

Your eyes kissed mine
I saw the love in them shine
You brought me heaven right then
When your eyes kissed mine

My love loves me
And all the wonders I see
A rainbow shines in my window
My love loves me

And now he's gone
Like a dream that fades into dawn
But the words stay locked in my heartstrings
My love loves me

Plaisir d'amour
Ne dure qu'un moment
Chagrin d'amour
Dure toute la vie

Songwriters: Jean-Paul-Égide Martini, (Poem by Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian)
