Heaven Have Mercy (Miséricorde) - Carnegie Hall 57 Songtext
von Édith Piaf

No more smiles, no more tears, no more prayers, no more fears
Nothing left, why go on, when your lover is gone
Shout with one, ring the bells, through the towns and the farms
With the shouts and the bells, bringing him back to my arms
Must each man go to war, ever more, ever more
While some loner woman stands empty heart empty hands


When the time came to part, and he kissed me goodbye
From the depths of my heart came a great lonely cry
"Heaven have mercy"
"Heaven have mercy"
Once again they carved his name upon a cross
I remember the dance where we first fell in love
How we whirled around and around, while the stars danced above

We would walk by the shore, watch the ships sail away
Lovers need nothing more, just a new dream each day
So we dreamed of a home, with a garden so fine
And a son with his eyes, and a nose just like mine
Now it′s done, why be brave?, why should I live like this?
Shall I wait by the grave for my lost lover's kiss?

Stop the bell, stop the bell!
I have no tears left to cry
Must I stay here in hell?, lord above let me die
"Heaven have mercy"
"Heaven have mercy"
"Heaven have mercy"
