English translation of lyrics from the Takarazuka production of the Broadway musical.
Marguerite St. Just:
When I look at you
Someone I don’t know
Is there
The man whose laugh I loved so much
Is gone
When I think of you
I can feel the scent of summer days
And remember exactly how you smiled
Why
If only you would turn to me
With that affection
The two of us could return to how we were
And the love we lost
Could be resurrected
I feel his touch
But when I turn there’s no one there
Inside my memories
He melts into moonlight
And disappears
The man I loved is gone
He changed so suddenly
And now
I don’t know who you are
Or did I not know you from the beginning?
Was I dreaming
Were you a fantasy
I can’t shut myself inside my memories
But still I want to love you
When I look at you
