  • Here I am again
    In this smoky place
    With my brandy eyes
    I'm talking to myself
    You were the one
    You were the one

    Here I go again
    Looking for your face
    And I realize
    That I should look for someone else
    But you were the one
    You were the one

    I'm looking for comfort
    That I can take
    From someone else
    But after all
    I know there is no one
    That can save me from myself
    You were the only one

    Me revoici
    Dans ce bar enfumé
    Avec mes yeux ivres
    Je me parle à moi-même
    Ouh, c'était toi
    Ouh, c'était toi

    Me revoici
    Cherchant ton visage
    Et je réalise
    Que je devrais en chercher une autre
    Ouh, c'était toi
    You were the one

    Je recherche l'affection
    Qu'une autre pourrait me donner
    Mais, après tout
    Je sais qu'il n'y a personne
    Personne qui puisse me sauver
    Tu étais la seule

    I'm looking for comfort
    That I can take
    From someone else
    But after all
    I know there is no one
    That can save me, save me from myself
    You were the only one Writer/s: Billy Joel
