Je mettrai mon cœur dans du papier d'argent Mon numéro d'appel aux abonnés absents. Mes chansons d'amour resteront là dans mon piano J'aurai jeté la clé du piano dans l'eau J'irai voir les rois de la brocante "Vendez mon cœur trois francs cinquante" Tu savais si bien l'écouter Que ma vie s'est arrêtée Quand tu m'as quitté Je voulais te dire que je t'attends Et tant pis si je perds mon temps. Je t'attends, je t'attends tout le temps Sans me décourager pourtant Comme quelqu'un qui n'a plus personne S'endort près de son téléphone Et sourit quand on le réveille Mais ce n'était que le soleil L'autre jour, j'ai vu quelqu'un qui te ressemble Et la rue était comme une photo qui tremble. Si c'est toi qui passe le jour où je me promène Si c'est vraiment toi, je vois déjà la scène Moi je te regarde Et tu me regardes. Je voulais te dire que je t'attends Et tant pis si je perds mon temps. Je t'attends, je t'attends tout le temps Ce soir, demain, n'importe quand Comme quelqu'un qui n'a plus personne S'endort près de son téléphone Et qui te cherche à son réveil Tout seul au soleil, j'attends Je voulais te dire que je t'attends Si tu savais comme je t'attends ! Je t'attends, je t'attends tout l'temps Quand seras-tu là ? Je t'attends Si tu savais comme je t'attends ! Je t'attends, je t'attends tout l'temps Je voulais te dire que je t'attends
