D'amour Ou D'amitie

Il pense a moi, je le vois je le sens je le sais
Et son sourire me ment pas quand il vient me chercher
Il aime bien me parler des choses qu'il a vues
Du chemin qu'il a fait et de tous ses projets

He thinks of me, I see it I feel it I know it
And his smile doesn't lie when he comes to pick me up
He likes to talk to me about the things he saw
About the progress he made and of all his projects
Je crois pourtant qu'il est seul et qu'il voit d'autres filles
Je ne sais pas ce qu'elles veulent ni les phrases qu'il dit
Je ne sais pas ou je suis quelque part dans sa vie
Si je compte aujourd'hui plus qu'une autre pour lui

I believe however that he's alone and that he hangs out with other girls
I don't know what they want nor the sentences he says
I don't know where I am somewhere in his life
If I count more than the others for him today
Il est si pres de moi pourtant je ne sais pas comment l'aimer
Lui seul peut decider qu'on se parle d'amour ou d'amitie
Moi je l'aime et je peux lui offrir ma vie
Meme s'il ne veut pas de ma vie

He is so close to me yet I don't know how to love him
Only him can decide if we talk about love or about friendship
I love him and I want to offer him my life
Even if he doesn't want my life
Je reve de ses bras oui mais je ne sais pas comment l'aimer
Il a l'air d'hesiter entre une histoire d'amour ou d'amitie
Et je suis comme une ile en plein ocean
On dirait que mon coeur est trop grand

I dream of his arms but I don't know how to love him
He seems to hesitate between a love story or a friendship story
And I'm like an island in the middle of the ocean
It seems my heart is too big
Rien a lui dire il sait bien que j'ai tout a donner
Rien qu'a sourire a l'attendre a vouloir le gagner
Mais qu'elles sont tristes les nuits le temps me parait long
Et je n'ai pas appris a me passer de lui

Nothing to tell him he knows well that I have all to give
Only to smile waiting for him wanting to have him
But they're sad those nights and the time seems long
And I hadn't learn to live without him
Il est si pres de moi pourtant je ne sais pas comment l'aimer
Lui seul peut decider qu'on se parle d'amour ou d'amitie
Moi je l'aime et je peux lui offrir ma vie
Meme s'il ne veut pas de ma vie

He is so close to me yet I don't know how to love him
Only him can decide if we talk about love or about friendship
I love him and I want to offer him my life
Even if he doesn't want my life
Je reve de ses bras oui mais je ne sais pas comment l'aimer
Il a l'air d'hesiter entre une histoire d'amour ou d'amitie
Et je suis comme une ile en plein ocean
On dirait que mon coeur est trop grand

I dream of his arms but I don't know how to love him
He seems to hesitate between a love story or a friendship story
And I'm like an island in the middle of the ocean
It seems my heart is too big

Le Piano Fantome

(Luc Plamondon / Francois Cousineau)

[The Shadow Piano]

Elle jouait du piano tous les soirs a sept heures
Des valses de Chopin, des marches militaires
Des airs qui avaient fait un jour battre son coeur
Son repertoire datait d'la premiere guerre

(She was playing piano every night at seven
Waltzes from Chopin, military marches
Musics that once made her heart beat
Her repertoire was from the first war (WWI))

On ne la voyait jamais, excepte le matin
Quand elle sortait chercher son journal et du pain
Elle habitait l'appartement au-dessus du mien
Mais elle ne saluait jamais ses voisins

(We never saw her, but in the morning
When she was going out to get he paper and some bread
She lived in the apartment upstairs from mine
But she never said hello to her neighbours)

L'hiver c'etait comme un fantome dans la maison
Mais quand revenait le temps de la belle saison
Elle ouvrait sa fenetre comme on ouvre son coeur
Pour jouer du piano le soir a sept heures

(In winter she was like a ghost in the house
But when was coming back the time of the beautiful season
She opened her windows like we open our heart
To play piano at night, at seven)

Mais un beau soir d'ete, ou il faisait si chaud
Elle s'est arretee au milieu d'un tango
Elle n'avait pas ete victime d'une saute d'humeur
Elle etait morte d'un arret du coeur

(But one summer night, when it was so warm
She stopped playing in the middle of a tango
She wasn't victim of a bad mood
She was died of a heart attack)

Et comme elle n'avait pas laisse de testament
Un jour on a vendu ses affaires aux encheres
Je ne sais pas pourquoi moi qui n'en jouait guere
J'ai achete pour moi le vieil instrument

(And since she left no will
One day they sold her belongings by aunction
I don't know why me who didn't play much
I bought for myself the old instrument)

J'en joue deja pas mal, je sais deja par coeur
Au moins vingt-cinq chansons de Lennon-McCartney
Et quand je serai vieille seule et abandonnee
Je me les jouerai tous les soirs a sept heures

(I play of it not badly already, I already know by heart
At least twenty-five songs from Lennon-McCartney
And when I'll be old, alone and abandonned
I'll play them for myself every night at seven)

Je me les jouerai tous les soirs a sept heures

(I'll play them for myself every night at seven)

"(If There Was) Any Other Way"

Sorry I know I'm late
Guess I lost all track of time
Started walking and couldn't stop
Turning it over in my mind
Trying to make some sense of it
Trying to make the pieces fit
I thought I covered my tracks so well
But now he says he knew about it from the start
Yeah he knew about us all along, , ,

If there was any other way love
Don't you think I've tried to find it
Don't you think I want to stay
If there was any other way love
There's no way out of this
There just ain't any other way, , ,

Maybe I'd better be leaving now
But there's something I want you to understand before I go
Sometimes we don't have a choice when we play and break the rules
I just had to see you darlin', one more time
If only just to say good-bye
'Cos he knew about us all the time

If there was any other way love
Don't you think I've tried to find it
Don't you think I want to stay
If there was any other way love
There's no way out of this
There just ain't any other way, , ,

I never wanted it to be like this
I never meant to get serious
But now the thought of losing you
Takes some getting used to

If there was any other way love
Don't you think I've tried to find it
Don't you think I want to stay
If there was any other way love
There's no way out of this
There just ain't any other way, , ,

If there was any other way love
Don't you think I've tried to find it
Don't you think I want to stay
If there was any other way love

"À Cause"

On s'est aimé à cause, À cause de la vie
À cause des grands rêves que nous avions bâtis
Autour d'Adam et Ève et de leur Paradis

On s'est aimé à cause, à cause d'un instant
À cause d'une ambiance, d'un lieu et d'un moment
Et des lambeaux d'enfance, collés à nos vingt ans

On s'est aimé à cause, à cause
Mais aujourd'hui, tant de choses ont changées
On s'est aimé à cause, à cause
Et maintenant, il faut s'aimer malgré

Il faut s'aimer malgré, malgré le temps perdu
Malgré tous les grands rêves dont on est revenus
Comme Adam et comme Ève du Paradis perdu

Il faut s'aimer malgré, même malgré le pire
Malgré les stratégèmes de nos corps sans désirs
Malgré tous nos problèmes, malgré nos souvenirs

On s'est aimé à cause, à cause
Mais aujourd'hui, tant de choses ont changées
On s'est aimé à cause, à cause
Et maintenant, il faut s'aimer malgré

Il faut s'aimer malgré, malgré beaucoup de choses
Mais maintenant vois-tu on ne peut ignorer
Que l'amour se transforme et son apothéose
C'est quand on aime à cause, à cause des malgrés

On s'est aimé à cause, à cause
Et maintenant, il faut s'aimer malgré
Mais aujourd'hui, tant de choses ont changées
On s'est aimé à cause, à cause
Oui maintenant, il faut s'aimer malgré

"A Mother's Prayer"

I pray you'll be my eyes
And watch her where she goes
And help her to be wise
Help me to let go

Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe

I pray she finds your light
And holds it in her heart
As darkness falls each night
Remind her where you are

Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Need to find a place
Guide her to a place
Give her faith so she'll be safe

Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe

"A New Day Has Come (Radio Remix)"

A new day...
A new day...

I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear

Through the darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you

Hush now

I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love

Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun

A new day has... come

Where it was dark now there's light
Where there was pain now there's joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy

Hush now

I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love

Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun

A new day has...

Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun

A new day has... come

Ohhh, a light

Hush now

I see a light in your eyes
All in the eyes of the boy

I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love

I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love

Hush now

Hush now

A Quatre Pas D'ici

Ne cherche pas mon petit ton coin de paradis
Il t'attend gentiment a quatre pas d'ici

Don't look for you part of heaven
It's waiting pleasantly four steps away from here

Tes yeux ont des fleurs magiques a regarder

Dans un coin de tes reves

A quatre pas d'ici

Dans un coin de tes reves

Has put bals of planets around you

Est sur son ile au tresor

"A Song For You"

I couldn't live
I couldnt live without your love
for one kiss
well I'd give everything up
there's no words I can describe
what I feel deep inside
so I let this song say it all

Then I hope you'll understand
once you've listened till the end

Heard the music in my head
so before I could forget

I start singing
yeah I was singing
this song
for you

Just made up the words
la la la ohhh ohhh yeah
my heart with a melody

so I am singing
this song
for you

"A World To Believe In"

I've seen the tears and the heartache, and I felt the pain
I've seen the hatred in so many lives, and lost in vain
And yet through this darkness there's always a light that shines through
And takes me back home
Takes me back home

All of the promises broken
And all of the songs left unsung
Seems so far away as I make my way back to you

[Chorus:]
You gave me faith and you gave me a world to believe in
You gave me your love to believe in
And feeling this love I can rise up above
And be strong and be whole once again

I know that dreams we hold on to, can just fade away
And I know that words can be wasted, with so much to say
And I when I feel helpless there's always a hope that shines through
And makes me believe
Makes me believe

And I see for one fleeting moment
A paradise under the sun
I drift away and I make my way back to you

[Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
Life goes on
Can leave all sweet sorrow and pain
And life, hold on
To all that you are
To all that we'll be
And I can go on once again

[Chorus: x2]

Because your love hears my soul once again
I can live and I can dream once again
Because you made me love you
