C'était le mois de février Ton ventre était bien rond C'est vrai qu'on l'attendait On voulait l'appeler Jason Ce matin là, il faisait froid J'avais rendez-vous au studio Et tout en soufflant sur mes doigts J'disais l'petit sera un verseau Avoir un seul enfant de toi Ça faisait longtemps que j'attendais Le voir grandir auprès de toi C'est le cadeau dont je rêvais Qu'il ait ton sourire, ton regard Quand tu te lèves le matin Avec l'amour et tout l'espoir Que j'ai quand tu me tiens la main Et puis on m'a téléphoné Et moi bien sûr, j'ai tout quitté Les chœurs, les cuivres et la rythmique J'devenais papa, c'était magique Puis le taxi m'a déposé Devant la porte de la clinique Et comme un fou je suis monté Garçon ou fille c'était critique Avoir un seul enfant de toi Ça faisait longtemps que j'attendais Le voir grandir auprès de toi C'est le cadeau dont je rêvais Qu'il ait ton sourire, ton regard Quand tu te lèves le matin Avec l'amour et tout l'espoir Que j'ai quand tu me tiens la main On m'a tendu un paquet d'langes Dans lequel petit homme dormait Puis on m'a dit, d'une voix étrange Que c'était tout ce qui m' restait Tout le monde était très gentil Et moi je ne comprenais pas Que dans son cœur y' avait la vie Et qu' dans le tien, il faisait froid Ça fait dix ans qu' t'as fais le vide Dix ans qu'tu n'es plus là C'est le p'tit homme qui compte mes rides Il dit qu'il t'aime à travers moi Personne depuis n'a pris ta place L'enfant est là et j' l'aime pour deux Ton image est bien trop vivace Et c'est bien celle que j'aime le mieux Avoir un seul enfant de toi Ça faisait longtemps que j'attendais Le voir grandir auprès de toi C'est le cadeau dont je rêvais Qu'il ait ton sourire, ton regard Quand tu te levais le matin Avec l'amour et tout l'espoir Qu' j'avais quand tu m' tenais la main
