Charles Aznavour — Still I Cling To You

I know the signs, I read the warning To you, I'm only time to kill Not mean a thing to you Yet, still I cling to you Like melodies on (?) Winter mornings Like snow upon the highest hill That's how I cling to you Somehow, I cling to you If I were wiser I would leave you Pick up my broken pride and steal away What is this game you play Do we have a chain to bind and hold me (?) Yet, keep yourself one step beyond me So near, so far away I tell myself, you'll come to love me As flowers come alive in Spring And still I cling to you At times you want my adoration You talk of love, of life ??? My soul ??? swings (?) to you And so, I cling to you At times you mock my desperation My ignorance, to laugh, to score (?) Despite the things you do, in rage (?) I cling to you Is it just pity you are feeling These crumbs of comfort that you throw my way How long can hope survive How long must this despair continue If you're so sure, I'll never wave (?) you Why keep my hope alive You do not hear the song I sing you You do not take the gift I bring Yet still I sing to you Still I cling to you
