EMMANUELLE
Lyrics (French) and music: Pierre Bachelet - English lyrics: Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley

Peter Nero with Bert De Coteaux orchestra and chorus


Echo in the night, I found the light, Emmanuelle ...
Memories that haunt my brain.
Laughter in the dark, a chance remark, Emmanuelle,
Sounding like a sad refrain.

Face of a child,
Rain in your hair,
Tears in your eyes ...
Now you're not there.

Nothing's the same,
Nothing is real;
I never guessed
How lost I'd feel.

Echo in the night, I found the light, Emmanuelle ...
Memories that haunt my brain.
Laughter in the dark, a chance remark, Emmanuelle,
Sounding like a sad refrain.

Counting the days,
Visions of you,
I sit alone,
Places we knew.

Pleasures we found,
Games that we played,
Secrets we shared,
Love that we made.

If it was love,
How would it show?
Was I the first?
I'll never know.

Something inside,
Some strange desire
Deep into you
Burns like a fire.

Echo in the night, I found the light, Emmanuelle ...
Memories that haunt my brain.
Laughter in the dark, a chance remark, Emmanuelle,
Sounding like a sad refrain.
