Deux mélodies

by Ernest Moret (1871 - 1949)

1. Dans ton cœur dort un clair de lune  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Dans ton cœur dort un clair de lune,
Un doux clair de lune d'été,
[Et loin de]1 la vie importune,
Je me [viens perdre en]2 ta clarté.

J'oublierai les douleurs passées,
Mon amour, quand tu berceras
Mon triste cœur et mes pensées
Dans le calme aimant de tes bras.

Tu prendras ma tête malade,
Oh ! [certain soir sur]3 tes genoux,
Et lui diras une ballade
Qui semblera parler de nous ;

Et dans tes yeux pleins de tristesse,
Dans tes yeux alors je boirai
Tant de baisers et de tendresses
Que peut-être je guérirai.
