about

“Between a smile and a tear” is an expression apparently used by Toots Thielemans to describe a piece of music that is so beautiful that it makes you laugh and cry at the same time. Elena’s lyrics reveal the beginning of a love story.

lyrics

I STILL REMEMBER THAT TIME
FIRST TIME OUR SIGHTS AND SOULS ALIGNED
YOU WERE ALL TREMBLING AND I ONLY WANTED TO
GET IN YOUR LOVELY ARMS.

IT’S STILL SO FRESH IN MY MIND
THE MEMORY OF THAT FIRST TIME WHEN WE KISSED,
MY HEART WAS HAMMERING LIKE BEATING WINGS,
EVERY FEELING OF LOVE CAME TO ME.

IS IT A SMILE?
IS IT A TEAR OF HAPPINESS
THAT COMES NOW OUT OF MY SOUL?

IS IT A FIRE?
IS IT A STORM OF FEELINGS BURSTING INSIDE MY HEART?
IT’S SO AMAZING, SO ASTOUNDING LOVE!

CODA:
EVERYTHING WAS TRANSFORMED
AND ENCHANTED
EVERYTHING MADE SENSE!
