Love Me As Though There Were No Tomorrow - Playlist for the end of the World

[MatchaChocolate69]

You won't admit you love me
And so how am I ever to know?
You always tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

A million times I've asked you
And then I ask you over
Again, you only answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted

So if you really love me, say yes
But if you don't dear, confess
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

 

[MatchaChocolate69]

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
'Cause you don't love me any more

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love

I wake-up in the morning, and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said, "Good-bye"

 

[MatchaChocolate69]

Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry

One of these mornings, you're goin' to rise up singin'
And you'll spread your wings and you'll take the sky
But 'til that mornin', there's a-nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mommy standin' by

One of these mornings, you're goin' to rise up singin'
And you'll spread your wings and you'll take the sky
But 'til that mornin', there's a-nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mommy standin' by

Great song. I don't listen to music too much myself, but even I know Louis Armstrong. Still, my personal favourite is “What a Wonderful World”.

Great song. I don't listen to music too much myself, but even I know Louis Armstrong. Still, my personal favourite is “What a Wonderful World”.

I would never have guessed. On the other hand, I listen to way too much music. It's my main source of inspiration for writing, and it helps me find the right mood for the scenes.

By the way, I love "What A Wonderful World." It has amazing lyrics, and Louis's voice is iconic.
It's practically the classic of classics, and since you mentioned it, allow me to play the jukebox and put it on for you.

******************************

I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by

I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying
I love you

I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Ooh, yes

 

[MatchaChocolate69]

Where are you?
Where have you gone without me?
I thought you cared about me
Where are you?

Where's my heart?
Where is the dream we started?
I can't believe we're parted
Where are you?

When we said goodbye, love
What had we to gain?
When I gave you my love
Was it all in vain?

All life through
Must I go on pretending?
Where is my happy ending?
Where are you?

When we said goodbye, love
What had we to gain?
When I gave you my love
Was it all in vain

 

[MatchaChocolate69]

You'll never know just how much I miss you
You'll never know just how much I care
And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you
You ought to know, for haven't I told you so
A million or more times?

You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now

(You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer)
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now

You'll never know if you don't know now

Perfect and chill version

The part I liked about the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics was Celine Dion's phenomenal final performance on the Eiffel Tower, which reminded me of the existence of this timeless song.

Hymne à l'amour​

Le ciel bleu sur nous peut s'effondrer
Et la Terre peut bien s'écrouler
Peu m'importe si tu m'aimes
Je me fous du monde entier

Tant qu'l'amour innondera mes matins
Tant qu'mon corps frémira sous tes mains
Peu m'importe les problèmes
Mon amour, puisque tu m'aimes

J'irais jusqu'au bout du monde
Je me ferais teindre en blonde
Si tu me le demandais
J'irais décrocher la Lune
J'irais voler la fortune
Si tu me le demandais
Je renierais ma patrie
Je renierais mes amis
Si tu me le demandais
On peut bien rire de moi
Je ferais n'importe quoi
Si tu me le demandais

Si un jour, la vie t'arrache à moi
Si tu meurs, que tu sois loin de moi
Peu m'importe si tu m'aimes
Car moi je mourrais aussi

Nous aurons pour nous l'éternité
Dans le bleu de toute l'immensité
Dans le ciel, plus de problème
Mon amour, crois-tu qu'on s'aime?
Dieu réunit ceux qui s'aiment

I can only think of schizophrenic yanderes when I hear French.

I can only think of schizophrenic yanderes when I hear French.

Pretty much, it's a romantic language that, especially at high speed, can give the impression of madness.

Well it's a normal state of mind for a French person and I simply heard not enough mystery of Hawaii.

Even though it’s way past the deadline (the world ends in 1969), mah boy Bruno just dropped an insane bomb that fits perfectly with the thread's theme. I can’t help but share it.

I just woke up from a dream
Where you and I had to say goodbye
And I don't know what it all means
But since I survived, I realized

Wherever you go, that's where I'll follow
Nobody's promised tomorrow
So I'ma love you every night like it's the last night
Like it's the last night

If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you
If the party was over and our time on Earth was through
I'd wanna hold you just for a while
And die with a smile
If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you

Woo-ooh

Ooh, lost
Lost in the words that we scream
I don't even wanna do this anymore
'Cause you already know what you mean to me
And our love is the only war worth fighting for

Wherever you go, that's where I'll follow
Nobody's promised tomorrow
So I'ma love you every night like it's the last night
Like it's the last night

If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you
If the party was over and our time on Earth was through
I'd wanna hold you just for a while
And die with a smile
If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you

Right next to you
Next to you
Right next to you
Oh-oh-oh

If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you
If the party was over and our time on Earth was through
I'd wanna hold you just for a while
And die with a smile
If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you
If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you

Ooh, ooh
I'd wanna be next to you

Mood >

It's all over but the crying
And nobody's crying but me
Friends all over know I'm trying
To forget about how much I care for you
It's all over but the dreaming
Poor little dreams that keep trying to come true
It's all over but the crying
And I can't get over crying over you
