[Verse 1] The moonlight falls on empty chairs, La nuit respire ton dernier air. I hear your laughter through the rain, Then silence calls your name again. [Pre-Chorus] And though the night has closed its eyes, The stars recall our last goodbye. I keep the dream, though time unkind — Ton cœur était le mien. [Chorus] Once you were mine — tu étais à moi, The world stood still beneath our sky. The air was warm, the love divine — Once you were mine… autrefois. [Verse 2] The hours drift like autumn leaves, Ton ombre danse, puis s’évanouit. Your shadow moves across the door, But love won’t live here anymore. [Pre-Chorus] I taste the past in every tear, Your voice remains, though you’re not near. And though the dawn begins to climb, You’re still the verse I can’t rewind. [Chorus] Once you were mine — tu étais à moi, The night was ours, we touched the sky. Now all I hold are echoes fine, Of love divine — autrefois. [Bridge] Si je pouvais changer le temps, I’d find you where the years belong. But even stars forget to shine — And fade, like you, from time. [Final Chorus] Once you were mine — tu étais à moi, And still I dream that soft reply. Now only memories entwine, And softly whisper… tu étais à moi autrefois. [Outro] (Soft strings, piano arpeggios, brushed drums fade. Simone’s final whisper echoes — “autrefois…”)
