Smile

[verse] In his Old Quebec neighborhood The streets seem to have the accent And the year 2000 The gray houses of yesteryear But winter has just broken out The St. Lawrence is a prisoner Of a December that will last six months When days seem like nights With no light to look forward to Who can believe that summer will return? [refrain] I had the sun Day and night in Emily's eyes I warmed my life with her smile I had the sun Night and day in the eyes of love And melancholy under Emily's sun Became the joy of life [verse 2] In her old Quebec neighborhood When the roofs are green again When children's feet are dry We turn our backs on winter It's springtime The return of the St. Lawrence People seem to rise from the earth But Émilie is no longer mine I feel cold for the first time I've lost her warmth and light [refrain] I had the sun Day and night in Émilie's eyes I warmed my life with her smile I had the sun Night and day in the eyes of love And melancholy under Emily's sun Became the joy of living [verse 3] In those days, I had the sun Day and night in Emily's eyes I warmed my life with her smile I had the sun Night and day in the eyes of love And melancholy under Emily's sun Became the joy of living
