tokyo, 7 p.m.
tokyo, 7 p.m.
yeh yeh yeh ooh!

as I watched tv vacantly
I had a strange dream
woke up and saw the time
tokyo, 7 p.m.

just to see you
I've been dressed up since morning
I want to be loved all night
tokyo, 7 p.m.

the restaurant
where we were to meet
had closed and disappeared
and I'm dying
from hunger
I wanna see you soon
I wanna see you soon

tokyo at 7 p.m.
this glorious city
is like a lie
I'm so lonely so I wanna see you

tokyo, 7 p.m.
I truly love you
but I'm so lonely and I wanna see you

a breeze hits me
as I open the taxi window
I'm rushing to see you
tokyo, 7 p.m.

suddenly, an answering machine
starts by itself
and talks all night
the tokyo night, mysterious

waiting for the lights
at a crossing
you are always so kind
today again
I'm a little late
I wanna see you soon
I wanna see you soon

tokyo, 7 p.m.
but it's not christmas
i'm so lonely, so I wanna see you

tokyo, 7 p.m.
I truly love you
I'm so lonely, and I wanna see you

In the whole world
can you
love only me?
the restaurant
where we were to meet
had closed and disappeared
holding only a
bouquet of roses
you are waiting alone
the same roses
I saw in a dream
I wanna see you soon
I wanna see you soon

tokyo at 7 p.m.
this glorious city
is like a lie
I'm so lonely so I wanna see you

tokyo, 7 p.m.
I truly love you
I'm so lonely and I wanna see you

tokyo, 7 p.m.

when the angels smile
love begins
as the angels smile
love is alright
it will be alright

this morning
just before I woke up
I had this short dream
I can't remember it
very well just in flashes

those angels whispered
whispered in my ears
wondrous love words
I thought I knew from somewhere

it is a bright
morning
just like all the others but
I sort of feel different
for no apparent reason
I'm just happy
it's like today
is the day
to begin a new love

when the angels smile etc
love begins
when the angels smile
love is alright
it will be alright

this strange hunch
in the new morning
this wonderful hunch

as the phone rings
I can tell from the sound
it is you
some strange news

you whisper
in my ear
wonderful love words
I'd been waiting for

in the looking-glass
I'm putting on
this brand-new
shirt
I don't know why
I like myself today
more than usual
it's like
the first day of
a new
season

when the angels smile
a new love begins
as the angels kiss
two people make love
the camera goes on

a strange hunch
in a new morning
a wonderful hunch

in the light
I'm hugging
myself
today
don't know why
I feel like crying
it's just like
the beginning of
a new love today
like that dream
I once saw is now
becoming reality

when the angels smile etc
love begins
when the angels smile
love is alright
it will be alright
on this new morning
a strange hunch
a wonderful hunch
a new love
song

Baby why don't we go?
In my favorite

Don't you think this
is true love?

Baby baby baby as soon as you can
Baby baby baby come to me
I feel this is happy love

you're happy and
then all of a sudden you're sad
you are
so bizarre, honey

if you
pull this
moping face on me
there's nothing more to say
you fell in love
with someone again and
got dumped didn'tcha

happy sad
that's some nickname you got
you're always standing
in a sulky pose

the record we got
and listened to together
last night
had this boring love song on
side one and this depressing
jazz song on the other side

the record player goes on
spinning in the night
some soul music
makes me feel like dancing
it goes on and on and on
forever
happy sad

if i'm with you
i'll always be
happy sad happy sad oo-ooh
if i love you
i'll always be
happy sad happy sad oo-ooh

hey, are you crying? no!
you're laughing
you're just
like rainy weather
honey

now don't pull this
sad face
there's nothing
left to say
after all
the fun you had
now you're depressed

the record player goes on
spinning in the night
if you don't want to dance
i'll dance by myself
forever
happy sad

if i'm with you
i'll always be
happy sad happy sad oo-ooh
if i love you
i'll always be
happy sad happy sad oo-ooh

the record player goes on
spinning in the night
some soul music
makes me feel like dancing and
suddenly ends

you're silent, in a bad mood
playing your guitar
you are long-haired
my sulky boy

the moment I met you
I understood
I was born to
fall in love with you
you look at me with your dark eyes
like an October sea
you're so tall
my moody boy

hey,
will you love me tonight?
woo
will you hold me all night?
I'll sleep
with you
baby baby baby baby

you're so good at kissing,
dishonest and very cool
you're so good at lying,
dishonest and very cool
I was born to
be loved by you, but
I was born to
be loved by you, but

you don't say a word
just play your guitar all day
I know that
the music will always end but
like a rose tatto
on a sailor's arm
I'm yours
we're inseparable

nee
will you love me tonight?
woo
hugged by angel
I'll sleep
with you
baby baby baby baby

you're so good at kissing,
dishonest and very cool
you're so good at lying
dishonest and very cool
I was born to
be loved by you, but
I was born to
be loved

nee
will you always love me?
woo
hold me till the morning
I'll sleep
with you
baby baby baby baby

someday you'll leave me behind
somewhere but
anyway I'll take a bus
to the next town with you
to where the sandstorm blows
in a town somewhere I don't know

I was born to
loved by you, but
I was born to
loved by you, but

if it was a clear day,
we'd have a fantastic picnic day
will it rain? that'd still be fun
under the gentle shower
I'd play with you
and hey, we'd kiss

I listen to the radio in the wind

or to my favorite cassette tape

when I'm with you
any sound I hear
is like a symphony

our ice cream is melting
but so what, we're in love
this feeling of love is mellow
mellow mellow mellow mellow

playing in a boat on the water

Don't you want to play all day?

the splash sparkles
we talk in whispers
at least, will you propose?

our ice cream is melting
into slush
I'm too mellow to whistle
mellow mellow mellow mellow


maybe
today is

the happiest day
of our lives


our ice cream is melting
we're head over heels in love
this feeling of love is so mellow

I am so
sad now that
my tears
my tears
MY TEARS
won't stop
since we broke up
I cannot see anything
my eyes
MY EYES
see all black

I should've known you were
that kinda man who will
change his mind all the time
but I believed that you
liked me and only me
that summer day
after we kissed
under the burning sun
and you held me in your arms
all that was just a game mon amour

alone and having nowhere to go
I wander in the streets
so many tears that I can't
see anything

you are unforgettable
that's why my heart is broken
although I must say that
the end of our love, I saw it coming
that summer day
under shooting stars
you whispered
sweet words of love to me
I won't forget mon amour

alone and having nowhere to go
I wander in the streets
so many tears that I can't
see anything

I shoulda known you were that kinda man
who changes his mind all the time
all those beautiful memories
fade out
that summer day
in your arms
I shivered as I dreamt
sweet dreams
adieu mon amour

alone and having nowhere to go
I wander in the streets
so many tears that I can't
see anything

yesterday
i came back alone
to this town
where i fell
in love
with you
because
i wanted
to be alone
but i don't
intend to
try to go
and see you

mon amour
in the town
where we used
to meet
it was
always
raining
like in
an old film
but
we never
said
goodbye
to
each other

mon amour
listen
listen to me, my love
all the pangs of love
all the "hold me"s of love
all the "hold me"s, hold me
in your arms
mon amour
hold me tight for ever
mon amour
stay
stay with me
mon amour
mon amour

neither
of us
had
the idea
of saying
goodbye

mon amour
i won't
be coming back
to the town
where i fell in love
with you
for a while
maybe never again
but i won't
forget you
there are
far too many
happy memories
in this town

I wrote a very sad song
when I woke up this morning
but I won't let you listen to it
because it's too sad a song

It's a very sad story
maybe you noticed it too
it's really very sad
but our love is over

like this
we held each other
we saw the same sunrise

I had a very sad dream
this morning before I woke up
I dreamt that I was singing a sad song
and you just kissed me

I'm really sorry
I've loved you so
but...

I'm really sorry
you've believed only me
but...

I'm really sorry
I've loved you so
but...

I'm really sorry
but in the end
we can forget everything

-------------------------------------------
Before I die
Just once would be enough
I want to try and laugh as hard as I can
Whistle and walk,
On the sunny side of the street

In the pocket of my only good clothes
There's never any money but,
On the sunny side of the street,
I'll dance
like Astaire and...

In the middle of main street
I'll see you by chance
I'll yell out your name
Hug and kiss and...

Before I die
Just once would be enough
I want to be loved as much as possible
On the sunny side of the street
I'll whistle and
walk side by side

And then I'll be with you 'til morning
On a rose-colored bed
We'll talk of foolish things
Hug and kiss and..

Before I die
Just once would be enough
I want to try and laugh as hard as I can
On the sunny side of the street,
If I laugh, the more I cry
I'll whistle and step out
I'll dance
like Astaire and...

'bye-bye'

lovers never
have time enough
they want to meet
but keep passing each other
in the street
and if they finally
manage to meet
they don't manage
to tell each other
what is
most important

when they talk
on the phone
there's those
disturbing silences
and sudden interruptions
i try to listen carefully to
what you say
(it's so distant) and
feel happy with the insignificant
things you say
that's a symphony
for lovers

time goes faster
than all those
people running
i hear a song
from somewhere
a song i had long forgotten
the two lovers try to
listen to it carefully

the words lovers
whisper to each other
and the song
someone is humming
as he walks in the streets
all this gets
mingled and
becomes
a symphony
for lovers


time goes faster
than all those
people running
the sound of the subway
and a song
i had long forgotten
the two lovers
are listening carefully



today
another couple will
be formed
another couple
will break up
if i ever see you again
i'll tell you
everything


can you hear?
this symphony
for lovers
