À Peu Près

I remember your poems
And the light in your eyes
I remember your 'I love you'
That you tossed like wishes

Have you ever wanted us to sow
Petals and happy days?
Or did you know all the problems
Did you throw the dice into the fire?
Into the fire

It was gold, you know
Our story was like gold
And if ever
If I manage more or less
Don't worry, one day or another, I will find you
I will find you

You told me I was yours
That with me the sky is bluer
You quoted Rimbaud, Verlaine
Counted the story of life for two
For two

And it was gold, you know
Our story was like gold
And if ever
If I manage more or less
Don't worry, one day or another, I will find you
I will find you

Enough of pale loves
And hearts shattered into pieces
Of these songs on the same theme
That have exhausted all my words
All my words

And it was gold, you know
Our story was like gold
And if ever
If I manage more or less
Don't worry, one day or another, I will find you
I will find you
