Il Est Passé - Nana Mouskouri

He was just a stranger to me Though at first he hardly knew me His devotion, his emotion

Like an ocean swept right through me For a while he loved me sweetly

And it broke my heart completly

When my true love found a new love

And he left me so alone

He is gone away

And it’s all over now

Won’t waste a day

Wondering why or wondering how

Love didn’t last

And my world went astray

Time flew too fast

I will love another day

What’s past is past now

And he’s gone away

Once I couldn’t live without him

I was too in love to doubt him

Then my true love found a new love

Now I never think about him

Just sometimes as night is falling

In my heart I start recalling

How he told me, when he told me He would love me all my life
