Françoise Hardy - Moments Lyrics

How could so many people
Be living just for this?
Moments of redemption
Momentary bliss

And what with so many people
Living for the day?
Treetops give the answers
Swallows show the way

It's so strange
The things we wish for
The things we thought
We couldn't do without

It's so sad
The things we dreamed of
The things we thought
We couldn't live without

How could so many memories
Comfort you at dawn?
Bring you back to days
Of happiness?

And what do we do with moments
Once they've been and gone?
Do they wait in churchyards
Till we pass?

It's so strange
The things we wish for
The things we thought
We couldn't do without

It's so sad
The love we dreamed of
The love we thought
We couldn't live without
