Until It's Time For You To Go
Timeless Love and Choices: Françoise Hardy's Emotive Journey
Lyrics
You're not a dream, you're not an angel, you're a man
You are not an idealized fantasy or a divine being; you are a human.
I'm not a queen, I'm a woman, take my hand
I'm not someone elevated or unreachable; I'm a real woman offering partnership.
We'll make a space in the lives that we planned
We will create a place in our planned lives for each other.
And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go
We'll remain together until the moment is right for you to depart or move on.
Yes, we're different, worlds apart, we're not the same
Despite our differences and separate worlds, we're not identical.
We laughed and cried at the start like in a game
We experienced the emotions of laughter and tears at the beginning, akin to a playful game.
You could have stayed outside my heart but in you came
You had the option to avoid entering my heart, yet you chose to be a part of it.
And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go
We'll remain together until the appropriate time for you to depart.
Don't ask why, don't ask how, don't ask forever, love me now
Do not question the reasons, the methods, or an everlasting commitment; love me in this moment.
This love of mine had no beginning, it has no end
This love has no clear beginning or end; it's continuous and enduring.
I was an oak, now I'm a willow, now I can bend
Metaphorically transforming from a sturdy oak to a flexible willow, adapting to change.
And though I'll never in my life see you again
Although we may never meet again, I'll remain until the moment is right for your departure.
Still I'll stay until it's time for you to go
Even though our time together may be limited, I'll stay until your departure.
Don't ask why of me, don't ask how of me
Do not inquire about the reasons behind my actions or feelings.
Don't ask forever of me, love me, love me, now
Instead of seeking permanence, love me in the present moment.
You're not a dream, you're not an angel, you're a man
You're a real person, not an unattainable dream or supernatural being.
I'm not a queen, I'm a woman, take my hand
I'm not someone regal or untouchable; I'm a genuine woman offering my hand in companionship.
We'll make a space in the lives that we planned
We'll make room for each other in our planned lives.
And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go
We'll stay together until the time is right for your departure or change.
And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go.
We'll continue together until it's the appropriate moment for you to move on.
