Le Bel Age Lyrics

There comes a time, when you should see things clear
Free from my innocence, there is no circumstance too severe
Only the need for us, for us to believe again

There is a time, temptation's on the run
Dreamer you've had your way
Soldier you've had your day, in the sun
Now it's time, for us to begin again

Chorus:

Le Bel Age
Only our love will remain
Le Bel Age
Close to the truth once again

There comes a time (there comes a time)
When you must find your way
Begger has made his bed
Wrapped in a silhoutte, of gold and gray
Now it's time, yes it's time, for us to begin again

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

Standing so close to me, the possibility
To change our destiny, I see it perfectly, moving so naturally
Nothing can stand in our way

(Repeat Chorus Three Times)

Le Bel Age
Only our love will remain (only)
Le Bel Age (only our love, only our love)
Close to the truth once again

(Repeat Chorus)

Le Bel Age (Le Bel Age)
Le Bel Age

This is one of her best songs as far as I am concerned. :) It'll stay in your head-her melody is perfect and lovely.

Cover art for Le Bel Age lyrics by Pat Benatar

I’ve always interpreted the lyrics as describing a moment in a couple’s relationship when everything is about to change—the turning point they’ve been patiently waiting for. Maybe it’s a move across the country or even overseas, marking the start of a new chapter in their lives together. They’re breaking free from the status quo to chase their dreams, leaving behind everything except their love for one another.

This moment reminds me of an experience my wife and I had early in our marriage. One night, we packed up everything we owned (it all fit in the trunk of our sedan) and moved to a new city halfway across the country. We stepped outside our comfort zone to begin the next phase of our lives. Thirty-five years and two children later, we’re still on that journey together.

Pat and Neil's love affair has lasted 40+ years. Le Bel Age means the beautiful years together. Pat was married to a soldier and I'm sure met some dreamers who didn't pan out. Though the song technically is about a lost love that comes back. This didn't happen to Pat and Neil but Pat I believe loves it and uses it as one of their love of each other anthems.
