Autumn Encounter

AUTUMN ENCOUNTER
Music: Steve Macfarlane & Billy Hui, Lyrics: Steve Macfarlane, Gary Millar, Peter Grant

Rencontré dans la barre
Le même temps et même lieu
Vous avez un café
Regardé dans le space
Pensé je suggérerais
Une carafe du vin
Oh non, juste un verre
Je n'ai pas le temps

We met in the bar.
same time, same place.
You sipped café
I stared in to space.
Thought I'd suggest -
A carafe of wine.
"Oh no, just a glass,
I don't have much time".

If I were stronger
I'd say "please stay longer"
knowing you'd sigh and reply
That's not a good idea
N’est ce pas une bonne idee
(mini break)

"How are you now
you're looking great''
You said "thanks, and I ...
mustn't be late"
I asked about family
You asked about mine
We drank in conversation
and ran out of wine

We walked to your car
You said "don't bother,
it's not that far"
"I in---sist"
You didn't (not) resist
"Shall we meet?
Same time, Same place, Next Year?"
You smiled and said "Yes,"
That's a good idea
That's a good idea
...une bonne idee...
