I Wish You Love

I Wish You Love
music & lyric by Charles Trenet (left)
English lyric by Albert Beach

Goodbye. no use leading with our chins, this is where our story ends,
Never lovers, ever friends.
Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day, but before you walk away,
I sincerely want to say...

I wish you bluebirds in the spring, to give your heart a song to sing;
And then a kiss, but more than this, I wish you love.
And in July, a lemonade, to cool you in some leafy glade;
I wish you health but more than wealth, I wish you love.

My breaking heart and I agree that you and I could never be,
So with my best, my very best, I set you free.

I wish you shelter from the storm, a cozy fire to keep you warm;
But most of all, when snowflakes fall, I wish you love.
