She

Version sung by Elvis Costello, from the "Notting Hill" movie soundtrack. The original version, written and sung by Charles Aznavour in album "Tous Les Visages de L'Amour" (1975), has a different "timing", somehow more passionate and less romantic. Hear both versions and make your own opinion, I think both are worth it.


She
May be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price
I have to pay

She may be the song that
summer sings
May be the chill that
autumn brings
May be a hundred
different things
Within the measure
of a day

She
may be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into
a heaven or a hell

She may be the mirror
of my dreams
A smile reflected
in a stream
She may not be what
she may seem
Inside her shell

[instrumental interlude]

She
who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them
When they cry

She
may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows in the past
That I'll remember
Till the day I die

She may be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore
I'm alive
The one I care for through
the rough and ready years

Me
I'll take the laughter
and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
And where she goes
I've got to be
The meaning of my life is
She
She!
Oh-oh
She...
