Les P'tites Jolies Choses

The little pretty things
It puts just a touch of pink in the gray
It doesn't change life or the color of the sea
These rays of sunshine in the middle of winter
The little pretty things
Sometimes we don't see them anymore, that's life in prose
A bit of poetry that smiles at us
When we remake the world with a friend

For you and me
If that's all we have left
For the beauty of the gesture
Like when you pull up the collar of my jacket
Do it for you and me
Show me if you dare
If it's for a good cause
Deep in your heart it's like a bouquet of flowers
These little pretty things
These little pretty things
Tututu

The little pretty things
It smells like coffee in the early morning
And the toasted bread, these joys we don't see
But we would miss them if they weren't there
The little pretty things
It's just the sum of a few details
A song we whistle, a tune we love
A nice memory just as we fall asleep

For you and me
If that's all we have left
For the beauty of the gesture
Like when you pull up the collar of my jacket
Do it for you and me
Show me if you dare
If it's for a good cause
Deep in your heart it's like a bouquet of flowers
These little pretty things
These little pretty things
Tututu

There will always be great misfortunes
It's not the medals, it's not the honors
Even if there are great battles that are necessary
Let's not forget to take a break
For these little pretty things
These little pretty things

For you and me
If that's all we have left
For the beauty of the gesture
Like when you pull up the collar of my jacket
Do it for you and me
Show me if you dare
If it's for a good cause
Deep in your heart it's like a bouquet of flowers
These little pretty things
These little pretty things
Tututu
These little pretty things
