A toi A la façon que tu as d´être belle A la façon que tu as d´être à moi A tes mots tendres un peu artificiels Quelquefois A toi A la petite fille que tu étais A celle que tu es encore souvent A ton passé, à tes secrets A tes anciens princes charmants A la vie, à l´amour A nos nuits, à nos jours A l´éternel retour de la chance A l´enfant qui viendra Qui nous ressemblera Qui sera à la fois toi et moi A moi A la folie dont tu es la raison A mes colères sans savoir pourquoi A mes silences et à mes trahisons Quelquefois A moi Au temps que j´ai passé à te chercher Aux qualités dont tu te moques bien Aux défauts que je t´ai cachés A mes idées de baladin A la vie, à l´amour A nos nuits, à nos jours A l´éternel retour de la chance A l´enfant qui viendra Qui nous ressemblera Qui sera à la fois toi et moi A nous Aux souvenirs que nous allons nous faire A l´avenir et au présent surtout A la santé de cette vieille Terre Qui s´en fout A nous A nos espoirs et à nos illusions A notre prochain premier rendez-vous A la santé de ces millions d´amoureux Qui sont comme nous A la vie, à l´amour A nos nuits, à nos jours A l´éternel retour de la chance A l´enfant qui viendra Qui nous ressemblera Qui sera à la fois toi et moi A toi A la façon que tu as d´être belle A la façon que tu as d´être à moi A tes mots tendres un peu artificiels Quelquefois A toi A la petite fille que tu étais A celle que tu es encore souvent A ton passé, à tes secrets A tes anciens princes charmants
