Tu sais
Y'aura des hauts et des bas
Dans la peine ou dans la joie
On est si fragile
Toi et moi

Bien sûr
Les mots doux les coups durs

Grandir et faire les murs
Et quand tu partiras
Loin de moi

N'oublie jamais
N'oublie pas
Que je suis tout nu devant toi
Que le mal ne me fait plus mal
Mon tout petit amour
N'oublie jamais l'amour
Et tant que dans mes yeux
Tu verras...briller

N'oublie jamais
N'oublie pas
Que je t'aime au delà de moi
Que la vie ne me fait plus peur
Mon tout petit amour
N'oublie jamais l'amour
Et tant que dans tes yeux
Il y aura...

Dors
Sans penser à tout ça
Même si parfois tu m'en veux
D'être dans tes yeux
Un peu trop
Tu sais

Ca n'a pas d'importance
Et toutes ces blessures d'enfances
Font nos ressemblances
A toi et à moi

N'oublie jamais
N'oublie pas
Que je suis tout nu devant toi
Que le mal ne me fait plus mal
Mon tout petit amour
N'oublie jamais l'amour
Et tant que dans mes yeux
Tu verras...briller

N'oublie jamais
N'oublie pas
Que je t'aime au delà de moi
Que la nuit ne me fait plus peur
Mon tout petit amour
Et tant que dans tes yeux
Il y aura...

Mon tout petit amour
N'oublie jamais l'amour
Et tant que dans nos yeux tu verras
Briller...

N'oublie jamais
N'oublie pas
Que je suis tout nu devant toi
Que la nuit ne me fait plus peur
Mon tout petit amour
N'oublie jamais l'amour

Et tant que dans tes yeux il y aura
Des étoiles...
