Sacred Heart Lyrics

[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
Je, je vais t’attendre là
Viendras-tu pour moi?
Je vais t’attendre là
Seulement toi


English Translation:

[Verse 1: Joy Williams]
When I walk down the street
The street towards the Sacred Heart
I remember the promises
In the name of love

[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
I’ll, I’ll wait for you there
Will you come for me?
I’ll wait for you there
Only you

[Verse 2: Joy Williams]
You can hold me
Until the Sun hides
And kiss me softly
Until it returns
[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
I’ll, I’ll wait for you there
Will you come for me?
I’ll wait for you there
Only you

[Bridge: Joy Williams]
You may be falling behind
You may have missed your train
You may not be able to forgive me
Shadows grow
And the crowds fade

[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
I’ll, I’ll wait for you there
Will you come for me?
I’ll wait for you there
Only you
