Lyrics Still I Cling to You - Charles Aznavour

I know the signs, I read the warnings
To you, I'm only time to kill
Don't mean a thing to you
Yet, still I cling to you

Like meadow mist on winter mornings
Like snow upon the highest hill
That's how I cling to you
Somehow, I cling to you

If I were wiser I would leave you (aa-ohh)
Pick up my broken pride and steal away
What is this game you play
You weave a chain to bind and hold me
Yet, keep yourself one step beyond me
So near, so far away (uuhh uhhh)

I tell myself, you'll come to love me
As flowers come alive in Spring
And still I cling to you

At times you want my adoration (uu-uuhh uhh)
You talk of love, of life reborn (uu-uuhh uhh uh)
My soul takes wings to you (uu-uuhh uh uh)
And so, I cling to you (uu-uuhh uhh uh)

At times you mock my desperation
My eagerness, you laugh, you scold
Despite the things you do
In rage I cling to you

Is it just pity you are feeling (aa-oohh)
These crumbs of comfort that you throw my way
How long can hope survive
How long must this despair continue
If you're so sure, I'll never win you
Why keep my hope alive?

You do not hear the song I sing you
You do not take the gift I bring
Yet still I sing to you
Still I cling to you
