Comme Toi
Jean-Jacques Goldman
Like you
She had light eyes and a velvet dress
Next to his mother and the family around
She poses a little discreetly in the soft sun of the end of the day
The photo is not good but you can see
Happiness in person and the sweetness of an evening
She loved music especially Schumann and Mozart
Like you, like you like you
Like you, like you like you
Like you whom I look at quietly
Like you who sleep dreaming of what?
Like you, like you like you
She went to school in the village below
She learned the books she learned the laws
She sang about the frogs and the princesses sleeping in Aubois
She loved her doll she loved her friends
Especially Ruth and Anna and especially Jeremy
And maybe one day they would get married in Warsaw.
Like you like you like you
Like you, like you like you
Like you whom I look at quietly
Like you who sleep dreaming of what?
Like you, like you like you
Her name was Sarah she was not 8 years old
His life was sweet, dreams and white clouds
But other people decided otherwise
She had your light eyes and she was about your age
She was a simple and very wise little girl.
But she wasn't born like you here and now
Like you like you like you
Like you like you like you
Like you whom I look at quietly
Like you who sleep dreaming of what?
Like you, like you like you
