Toutes Ces Choses

It is the wind that lifts
A lock of hair
It's a day that dawns
A laugh in the corner of the eyes
A greeting to the passerby
That we will never see again
A child's race
Who crosses the street

A little wood burning
A few words from a chorus
The clock that is being turned back
When autumn comes back
It is the brilliance of a rose
In the middle of the garden
Life is all these things
Do little things

The departure of a friend
The seasons that come back
It's a voice in the night
Who whispers "I love you"
It is the hand that we place
In the palm of another hand
Life is all these things
Do little things

It's a drawn heart
Finger in the window
It's a broken dream
Another one who will be born
It's telling you every year
Happy birthday
It's an oak tree in front
Grandfather's house

It's the taste of good wine
Standing in the kitchen
Morning light
Children who draw
It's time that runs away
It's love that goes away
It's the sound of rain
On the roof sheet metal
The road we follow
The doubt that we drag
It's a voice in the night
Who whispers "I love you"
The smile we dare
The tears we hold back
Life is all these things
Do little things

It's your voice in the night
Who whispers "I love you"
Life is something
Anyway!
