[ARMAND]
Damn the day I saw you for the first time
Damn the day I saw you at the Salle Pleyel
I was there that evening with you
Though you never knew, I'd always remember
Damn the day I stood there in your shadow
Following your music at the Salle Pleyel
As I turned your pages one by one
Like a flower turns to face the sun
So I felt my luck had just begun
I was thunderstruck and lost in wonder
Oh must I pay for every man who hurt you?
How could I begin to know the price I’d pay?
Damn the day!
Here, here in my heart, these bitter words that tear me apart
How will I live my life? Where do I start?
When each word is a knife. straight to the heart?
And now you've shut the door! Cast me aside
A man who isn't rich can’t protect, can't provide
Damn your soul! Damn you!
What is left of days that never ended?
What is left of all that we were dreaming of?
What's left of love!
Why am I surprised? Why is it strange
That the china doll can never change?
There are words that wound, and words that kill
Marguerite, your words cut deeper still
So damn the day that you walked in my lifetime
What is left of all we felt that first time?
What's left of love?
