lyrics

The Night Before je t’aime
Music and lyrics by Alexis Normand

The gentle rain and soft moonlight
Fall on the tent, our home tonight
Tucked underneath our wool duvet
Your slumber dreams the hours away
You keep me warm as you hold me through the night

Oh, what a day we had once more
The lake and woods outside the door
Where hiking trails, are just yours and mine
And wild grass smells like summertime
This feels so right; like nothing I have known before
You feel so right; like nothing I have known before

I lay awake again
Because I want to say, je t’aime
I just can’t seem to unwind
I replay us in my mind

The glowing warmth and blushing skies
Dance on your lips and dozing eyes
This morning light may soothe my chest
But spinning thoughts won’t slow to rest Is this meant to be?
What does that even mean?
Laying here is so damn easy
Et je ne dors plus la nuit
I lay awake again,
The night before, je t’aime.
