Pour Toi
Frédéric François Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

J'ai trouvé près de toi
Un nouveau rayon de soleil
Et mon coeur a déjà
Oublié que la veille
Il avait froid
Oh

(Refrain)
Pour toi, je prendrai le temps de dire je t'aime
Pour toi, la vie ne sera jamais la même
Pour toi, je prendrai le temps de dire je t'aime
Pour toi, je serai toujours un peu bohème

Quand j'avais les mains vides
C'est toi qui m'as laissé entrer
Tu souriais, candide,
Tu ne m'as rien demandé
Tu m'as aimé
Oh

(au Refrain)

Je n'oublierai jamais
Tout ce que je te dois
Et tu verras
Oh





(au Refrain, x3)
