It's rough being a language teacher sometimes. You hear a great song and all you can think about is, "Wow, I can use this to teach grammar!"
Such is the case with one of my favorite songs, Je t'aimais, je t'aime, et je t'aimerai (1994), by French singer-songwriter Francis Cabrel. Despite years of using the song to teach tenses, I still love it. It was the only non-English song at my wedding almost ten years ago.
So, I'll make the grammar lesson brief and let you enjoy la chanson.
Je t'aimais (l'imparfait) - I loved you (imperfect past tense)
Je t'aime (le présent) - I love you (present tense)
Je t'aimerai (le futur) - I will love you (future tense)
