Please say you'll be waiting S'il te plaît dis-moi que tu attendras Together again Ensemble à nouveau It would feel so good to be in your arms Ça serait si bon d'être dans tes bras Where all my journeys end Là où tous mes voyages finissent If you make a promise Si tu fais une promesse If it's one that you can keep Si c'est une que tu peux tenir I vow to come to you Je jure revenir à toi If you wait for me Si tu m'attends And say you'll hold Et me dis que tu garderas A place for me Une place pour moi In your heart Dans ton cœur
I've longed for you Je t'ai attendu avec impatience And I have desired Et j'ai désiré To see your face your smile Voir ton visage et ton sourire To be with you wherever you are Pour être avec toi partout où tu étais If you dream of me Si tu rêves de moi Like I dream of you Comme je rêve de toi In a place that's warm and dark Dans un endroit où il fait chaud et sombre In a place where I can feel Dans un endroit où je peux sentir The beating of your heart Les battements de ton cœur (Chorus) (Refrain) Remembering your touch En me souvenant de ton toucher Your kiss De ton baiser Your warm embrace De ta chaude étreinte I'll find my way Je retrouverai mon chemin Back to you Vers toi If you'll be waiting Si tu attends If you wait for me Si tu m'attends Then I'll come for you Alors je viendrai pour toi Although I've travelled far Bien que j'eusse voyagé loin I always hold a place for you J'ai toujours gardé une place pour toi In my heart Dans mon cœur If you think of me Si tu penses à moi If you miss me once in a while Si je te manque un seul instant Then I'll return to you Alors je reviendrai à toi I'll return and fill that space in your heart Je reviendrai et remplirai ce vide dans ton cœur
