Un enfant de toi

It was February
Your belly was very round
It's true that we were waiting for it
We wanted to call him Jason
It was cold that morning
I had an appointment at the studio
And while blowing on my fingers
I said: The little one will be an Aquarius

Have only one child from you
I've been waiting for a long time
Seeing him grow up with you
This is the gift I dreamed of
May he have your smile, your look
When you get up in the morning
With love and all hope
That I have when you hold my hand

And then I got a call
And of course I left everything behind
The choirs, the brass and the rhythm
I became a dad, it was magical
Then the taxi dropped me off
In front of the clinic door
And like a madman I went up
Boy or girl, it was critical

Have only one child from you
I've been waiting for a long time
Seeing him grow up with you
This is the gift I dreamed of
May he have your smile, your look
When you get up in the morning
With love and all the hope
That I have when you hold my hand

I was handed a pack of diapers
In which little man slept
Then I was told in a strange voice
That was all I had left
Everyone was very nice
And I didn't understand
That in his heart there was life
And that in yours, it was cold

Have only one child from you
I've been waiting for a long time
Seeing him grow up with you
This is the gift I dreamed of
May he have your smile, your look
When you get up in the morning
With love and all the hope
That I have when you hold my hand

It's been ten years since you cleared out
You haven't been here for ten years
This is the little man who counts my wrinkles
He says he loves you through me
No one has taken your place since
The child is here and I love him for two
Your image is far too vivid
And that's the one I like best

Have only one child from you
I've been waiting for a long time
Seeing him grow up with you
This is the gift I dreamed of
May he have your smile, your look
When you get up in the morning
With love and all hope
That I have when you hold my hand
