Fais Moi Un Signe
Grégory Lemarchal Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je suis devant un mur blanc
Mais je sais que vous etes présent
Alors fait-moi un signe
Apparait
Je t'attends
Je ne te demande rien
Rien qu'un seul geste de la main
Alors fait-moi un signe

Montrez moi le chemin
Dis moi seulement lève toi
Et j'irais où tu me dira
Les pieds nus sur la scène
Faites moi un signe

Faites moi un signe
Faites moi un signe
Devant ce mur blanc de chaux
De tes yeux azur-indigo
Alors fait-moi un signe
Fais couler un ruisseau
écris ton nom noir sur blanc
De ce bout dechardon brûlant
Alors faites-moi un signe
Je suis pret maintenant
ca restera entre nous
Mais je n'aurait plus jaamais froid

Les pieds nus sur la scène
Faites moi un signe *8
