lyrics

It was time
Philippe de Courroux
Translation : Alain Daigneault

You were not a random number
A mistake or a- mishap
It was not too soon it was not too late
It was you and it- was ti—me

Black or white small or great
Such a fellow or none other-
Straight standing or crawling in the mud
Born considered or not at all

Before the world has been made,
you were already in my heart
What you have already done doesn’t change one iota

It was not a random number
A mistake or a- mishap
It was not too soon it was not too late
It was you and it -was ti-me

When -life makes you desire
To fully live and pay the pri-ce
When the clock since long ago
Hasn’t transformed your sumber wall

I lift my eyes toward heaven
Towards the one who’s eternal
There above the heavy clouds will the sun always shite

I love you stronger.
Stronger than hurricanes
My love is greater than all the great oceans
I love you further
Since the dawn of man—kind
I love you more tenderly than you could ever love me
I love you stronger
Strongter than hurricanes
My love is greater than all the great oceans
I love you further
Since the dawn of man—kind
I love you more tenderly than you could ever love me

You are not a random number
A mistake or a – mishap
You were not too soon you were not too late.
It was you and it- was time…
