It Will Be My Day - Charles Aznavour[00:00:01]

At eighteen I grew restless for the city[00:00:10]

I'd see its lights that beckoned from afar[00:00:14]

I packed my dreams assured I'd be successful[00:00:19]

I'd sing my songs I'd soon become a star[00:00:24]

I needed clothes to make the right impression[00:00:28]

I bought a suit the finest tailor-made[00:00:33]

Had an act then designed with the ladies in mind[00:00:38]

Endure the debt I felt would be repaid[00:00:43]

I dreamed I would be emblazoned in neon[00:00:48]

The biggest the best above all the rest[00:00:53]

Wherever I'd play[00:00:55]

I dreamed I would be acknowledged the greatest[00:00:57]

The cream of the crop it's good at the top[00:01:02]

I was there to stay[00:01:04]

The loveliest girls would gather around me[00:01:07]

With photos to sign[00:01:12]

They all would be mine for less than a smile[00:01:13]

My curtain would cue resounding ovations[00:01:15]

Their deafening roar would ring out for more[00:01:21]

I'd go off in style[00:01:23]

The older that I become[00:01:26]

My features are ageing[00:01:28]

My voice is still there my gesture's precise[00:01:31]

My talent would glow[00:01:32]

At times I've had bitterness for nothing has happened[00:01:35]

I've struggled and strived but never arrived[00:01:40]

And I'm still unknown[00:01:43]

And yet yet I believe that my time is coming[00:01:45]

If given the breaks I've got what it takes to go all the way[00:01:50]

Then under my feet the stage would be pulsing[00:01:54]

Finally I'd be there in the spotlights glare[00:01:59]

It would be my day[00:02:02]

For thirty years it's been an endless circle[00:02:07]

I've made the rounds they always look the same[00:02:11]

I sing my songs but people seldom listen[00:02:16]

They never care for they don't know my name[00:02:20]

To keep alive I've played the third-rate bookings[00:02:25]

I have no choice I take what I can find[00:02:30]

Sleazy clubs little pay easy girls sleep all day[00:02:35]

But in my dreams I leave it far behind[00:02:40]

I dreamed that I'll be relating the story[00:02:45]

Of how I prevailed when I should have failed[00:02:50]

In my quest for fame[00:02:53]

I dreamed I would be enjoying my leisure[00:02:54]

Taking life in stride ladies at my side[00:02:59]

Wild from the game[00:03:02]

On opening night I'll calmly be reading[00:03:04]

The thousands of words from those who admire my standing alone[00:03:08]

The stage light would dim the moment would quicken[00:03:14]

My heart in my throat[00:03:18]

Hearing the first note[00:03:20]

I'd be on my own[00:03:21]

I tried to find a gimmick to lift me from darkness[00:03:23]

I've sung about love I've songs[00:03:28]

A stale joke or two[00:03:30]

If everything fails and I'm left in the shadows[00:03:33]

The fault isn't mine I asked for a chance[00:03:38]

But nothing came through[00:03:40]

I have no one to thank[00:03:42]

For no one has offered[00:03:45]

To give me a hand or take any stand[00:03:47]

That's out of their way[00:03:50]

But deep in my heart I know[00:03:52]

I know that I have it[00:03:55]

And I'll get my due life and start anew[00:03:57]

It will be my day[00:03:59]
