Toi, ce sont ces mains qui traînent 
Le long de mon corps 
Toi, c'est la vie qui s'enchaîne 
À la mort 
Pourtant toi 
C'est bien plus que ma vie 
Bien plus que la mort 
Même l'amour est moins fort 
Que ce nous qui nous unit 
Et nous lie 

Toi, c'est tout un monde où l'amour se déroule 
Plein d'éternité 
Monde 
De rêves qui s'enroulent 
De réalité 
Toi, ce sont mes insomnies 
Mes peines et mes joies 
Et le souffle de ma vie 

Y a plus de ciel, y a plus d'enfer 
Y a plus de terre plus d'espace 
Il n'y a plus que toi et moi 
Y a plus de bien, y a plus de mal 
Mais dans nos cœurs il n'y a place 
Rien que pour toi et moi 

Toi, ce sont ces mains qui traînent 
Le long de mon corps 
Toi, c'est la vie qui s'enchaîne 
À la mort 
Pourtant toi 
C'est bien plus que ma vie 
Bien plus que la mort 
Même l'amour est moins fort 
Que ce nous qui nous unit 
Et nous lie 

Toi, c'est tout un monde où l'amour se déroule 
Plein d'éternité 
Monde 
De rêves qui s'enroulent 
De réalité 
Toi, ce sont mes insomnies 
Mes peines et mes joies 
Et le souffle de ma vie 
Pourtant toi 
C'est bien plus que ma vie 
Bien plus que la mort 
Même l'amour est moins fort 
Que ce nous qui nous unit 
Et nous lie 

Toi, c'est tout un monde où l'amour se déroule 
Plein d'éternité 
Monde 
De rêves qui s'enroulent 
De réalité 
Toi, ce sont mes insomnies 
Mes peines et mes joies 
Et le souffle de ma vie
