Avec La Tête, Avec Le Coeur

On a winter Sunday night
The little boy cries
As he returns to boarding school
In the car taking him back

He sobs without saying a word
Eyes downcast, heart heavy
His mother reassures him softly
You'll have a great time there

{Chorus:}

He said yes with his head
He said no with his heart
He smiled with his head
He cried with his heart

The little boy is grown
Just turned sixteen
He's almost a man now
And he's in love

Tonight he rushes to see her
But her voice has changed
Don't be mad at me but you know us
You know it wasn't serious

{to Chorus}

Now he's successful
He has a wife and two sons
A car and a beautiful house
He works like hell

Up late, up early
Spends all his time at the office
But yesterday someone told him: old man
You must be a happy man

{to Chorus}
