(words & music by Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman)
A very old friend came by today
'Cause he was telling everyone in town
About the love that he just found
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry
He talked and talked and I heard him say
That she had the longest blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame(duet with Paul Baillargeon)
Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world, few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real, I keep it alive
La route est longue, le monde est grand pourtant
Il nous faut parfois nous arrêter
The route is long, the world is big however
Sometimes we have to stop
Love lift us up where we belong, where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong, far from the world
We know, up where the clear wind blow
Le temps fuit entre nos mains
Lorsque l'amour nous tient
Times goes out of our hands
When love holds us
Love lift us where we belong
Làoè pleurent encore
Ceux qui se croient morts
Love lift us where we belong
Quand on est là-haut
Le monde est si beau
