  • Strands of light upon a bedroom floor
    Change the night through an open door
    I'm awake but this not my home
    For the first time I'm not alone

    Reaching out, I touch another skin
    Breathing out as he is breathing in
    Deep inside I feel my soul aflame
    Can my life ever be the same?

    I should have told him
    I'd do anything if I could hold him
    For just another day, for just another day
    His love is something I will not forget
    When I am far away, when I am far away
    I feel the rainfall of another planet
    Another planet

    Close together in the afterglow
    I remember how his loving flow
    Turned the key into another world
    Made a woman of a simple girl

    Daylight comes as we both know it must
    Soon my fantasies will turn to dust
    But I would give him anything he asked
    If my first love could be my last

    I should have told him
    I'd do anything if I could hold him
    For just another day, for just another day
    His love is something I will not regret
    When I am far away, when I am far away
    I feel the rainfall of another planet
    When I am far away, when I am far away
    I feel the rainfall of another planet, another planet Writer/s: Véronique Sanson

  • Mark Jackman from Marlow BucksWho arranged the orchestra on this track? I assume it was probably not Paul Buckmaster, although there are similarities.
  • Shaun from Warrington, United KingdomHauntingly beautiful.
  • Michael from Bradford, EnglandThe English lyric concerns a woman's first experience - but not the French. The French lyric is about a woman deeply in love (a forbidden love) but who fears that it will not last (Et je me demande si cet amour aura un lendemain
    = I wonder if this love will have a tomorrow).
  • Zabadak from London, EnglandA beautiful song about a woman's first sexual experience.
