All my Lovers Past

Lyrics: Stanley Péan / Music: Lucie Roy

I guess it’s hard to make it plain
Can’t find the right words to explain
The way I feel about you all
About you all
From my first lover to my last
Whether they gave me love or pain
My flame for all my lovers past
Won’t ever pass

I still love you all
From teen-age crushes to soul mates
The one who gave me my first kiss
The ones who left and still I miss
The ones I wrote love letters to
The ones who broke my heart in two
The ones whose touch just drove me wild
The one with whom I wished a child
The ones who tried, the ones who lied
Even the ones for whom I cried

Whether they set my soul on fire
Whether they burned me with desire
From my first lover to my last
I still love all my lovers past

As time goes by, sweet memories
Outweigh the lies, the treacheries
From yesterday I’ve kept the best
Forgot the rest
I hold no grudge and I forgave
Even the ones who misbehaved
My flame for all my lovers past
Won’t ever pass

I still love you all
Who helped me become who I am
The ones who taught me how to live
How to receive and how to give
The ones who taught me how to love
The ones I sometimes still think of
The ones who used to make me sweat
Even those I have never met
The ones who turned me off and on
Even the ones I cheated on

Whether they gave me love or pain
True to their memory I’ll remain
From my first lover to my last
I still love all my lovers past

I know it’s hard to understand
The love I feel for you all
For my first lover to my last
My love will last
