We were young So many times we heard them say How love comes to a soul In many different ways Now I know (Will you say) Will you say (Will you say) La verité? They didn't warn us Of the disappointments too One-sided love affairs Are really nothing new Now I know (Will you say) Will you say (Will you say) La verité? All life had gone and nowhere love found me By the sun, it's happiness all around me Now Gray skies are gathering up above me I'm the fool, I know that you don't think of me I try to come to terms With this reality It's hard to take the pain It's harder still to me Now I know (Will you say) Why don't you say (Will you say) La verité? All my life had gone and nowhere love found me By the sun, it's happiness all around me Now Gray skies are gathering up above me I'm the fool, I know that you don't think of me All my life had gone and nowhere love found me By the sun, it's happiness all around me Now Gray skies are gathering up above me I'm the fool, I know that you don't think of me I know you'll never come To love a man like me I'll just be a friend If that's the only role that's free Sometimes, I wonder why Your eyes choose not to see The tide has left you as A moment in history Now I know (Will you say) Why won't you say (Will you say) La verité (Will you say)
