Let My Name Be Sorrow - Françoise Hardy

When I watch you sadly calling

When all you can say is «no»

Let my name be sorrow

Let my name be sorrow

When I long to see you smiling

When your fear just won’t let go

Let my name be sorrow

Let my name be sorrow

Once we had laughs as big as lives

We had lies as sweet as you

Till one morning for us two

All was over

When the dawn is softly showing

Darkness lingers on your brow

Let my name be sorrow

Let my name be sorrow

When the roses sweetly growing

Lose their petals one by one

Let my name be sorrow

Let my name be sorrow

Once we had laughs as big as lives

We had lies as sweet as you

Till one morning for us two

All was over

You don’t have to say «I love you»

When your heart is far behind

Just let my name be sorrow

Let my name be sorrow
