Savoir sourire
À une inconnue qui passe
N'en garder aucune trace
Sinon celle du plaisir 
Savoir aimer 
Sans rien attendre en retour
Ni égard, ni grand amour
Pas même l'espoir d'être aimé

Mais savoir donner
Donner sans reprendre
Ne rien faire qu'apprendre 
Apprendre à aimer
Aimer sans attendre
Et aimer à tout prendre
Apprendre à sourire
Rien que pour le geste
Sans vouloir le reste 
Et apprendre à vivre 
Et s'en aller

Savoir attendre
Goûter à ce plein bonheur 
Qu'on vous donne comme par erreur
Tant on ne l'attendait plus
Se voir y croire 
Pour tromper la peur du vide 
Ancrée comme autant de rides 
Qui ternissent les miroirs 

Savoir donner
Donner sans reprendre
Ne rien faire qu'apprendre 
Apprendre à aimer
Aimer sans attendre
Et aimer à tout prendre
Apprendre à sourire
Rien que pour le geste
Sans vouloir le reste 
Et apprendre à vivre 
Et s'en aller

Savoir souffrir 
En silence, sans murmure
Ni défense ni armure 
Souffrir à vouloir mourir 
Se relever 
Comme on renaît de ses cendres
Avec tant d'amour à revendre 
Qu'on tire un trait sur le passé

Mais savoir donner
Donner sans reprendre
Ne rien faire qu'apprendre 
Apprendre à aimer
Aimer sans attendre
Et aimer à tout prendre
Apprendre à sourire
Rien que pour le geste
Sans vouloir le reste 
Et apprendre à vivre 
Et s'en aller

Apprendre à rêver 
À rêver pour deux
Rien qu'en fermant les yeux
Et savoir donner 
Donner sans rature 
Ni demi-mesure 
Apprendre à rester
Vouloir jusqu'au bout 
Rester malgré tout
Apprendre à aimer
Et s'en aller 
Et s'en aller
Et s'en aller
