(Charlotte for ever)
Petit papa rêveur
Charlotte
(Charlotte for ever)
À jamais dans mon cœur
Charlotte
Recherche d'un ever, more
Yes for ever (Charlotte for ever)
Tous les amours se meurent
Sans toi
Je suis plus moi
J'dérive à l'infini
Sens moi
Approche-toi, amour de ma vie
Charlotte
(Charlotte for ever)
Amour outsider
Charlotte
(Charlotte for ever)
No leader, no dealer
Charlotte
(Charlotte for ever)
De moi tu es l'auteur
Charlotte
(Charlotte for ever)
Es-tu à la hauteur?
Sans toi
Je n'suis plus moi
J'dérive à l'infini
Sens moi
Approche-toi
Amour de ma vie
Charlotte
(Charlotte for ever)
Pitié pour moi, mon cœur
Charlotte
(Charlotte for ever)
Tu as gagné, je pleure

Papa, papa, j'ai peur
Charlotte
(Charlotte for ever)
De goûter ta saveur
Charlotte
(Charlotte for ever)
Vu ni, vu ni couleur
Charlotte
(Charlotte for ever)
Détournement de mineure
(Charlotte for ever)
(Charlotte for ever)
