Sacred Heart Lyrics

Quand je marche dans la rue
La rue vers le Sacré-Cœur
Je me souviens des promesses
Au nom de l’amour

Je, je vais t’attendre là
Viendras-tu pour moi?
Je vais t’attendre là
Seulement toi

Tu peux me tenir
Jusqu’à ce que le soleil se cache
Et embrasse-moi doucement
Jusqu’à ce qu’il revienne

Je vais t’attendre là
Viendras-tu pour moi?
Je vais t’attendre là
Seulement toi

Tu prends peut-être du retard
Tu as peut-être raté ton train
Tu ne peux peut-être pas me pardonner

Les ombres grandissent
Et les foules s’effacent

Je, je vais t’attendre là
Viendras-tu pour moi?
Je vais t’attendre là
Seulement toi
Seulement toi

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Sacred Heart lyrics by Civil Wars, The

by Peaches_195

13y ago

These are the lyrics in English

When I walk in the street The street to the Sacred Heart I remember the promises In the name of love I'll wait for you there Will you come for me? I'll wait for you there only you You can stand Until the sun hides And kiss me softly Until he returns I'll wait for you there Will you come for me? I'll wait for you there only you You may take the delay You may have missed your train You can not possibly forgive me The shadows grow And the crowds disappear I'll wait for you there Will you come for me? I'll wait for you there only you
