He Must Have Been Eighteen Dalida

[Verse 1]
I think he must have been eighteen
He was as fragile as a dream
Strong as a man
Seeing the summer in his eyes
I felt my autumn as it flies
Like grains of sand

[Pre-Chorus]
I added make-up to my face
As if to cover some disgrace
I saw him smiling
Rainbows and colours of the spring
I would have given anything
To win his loving

[Chorus]
I think he must have been eighteen
A movie star on any screen
It made him careless
He never said a word of love
He thought that speaking about love
Was only worthless

[Verse 2]
And then as if the line were nеw
He simply whispered, "I want you
Lеt's stay together"
We drifted slowly through the night
I never knew a love more right
Not since, not ever
