Savoir Dire Merci
Lilian Renaud
Knowing How to Say Thank You
Pass, pass the happiness, joy
Hide and seek, sometimes life gets the best of me
And yet I smile
I walk by the same spot every day
They disfigure me, they crumple me
And yet I smile
Time never gives anything that it doesn't take back
We look at our lives
Without ever saying thank you
To those who help us grow
To the best and the laughter
To those it can take from us
To the traps it can set for us
Even if it only lasts a night
And by morning, grace has slipped away
Gotta know how to say thank you
Trace, trace, you gotta quickly take your place
Before someone else takes your spot
We run after our lives
I wipe away the space with a quick flick of my sleeve
The distances that knock us down
I smile, therefore I am
Time never gives anything that it doesn't take back
We look at our lives
Without ever saying thank you
To those who help us grow
To the best and the laughter
To those it can take from us
To the traps it can set for us
Even if it only lasts a night
And by morning, grace has slipped away
Gotta know how to say thank you
We look at our lives
Without ever saying thank you
To those who help us grow
To the best and the laughter
To those it can take from us
To the traps it can set for us
Even if it only lasts a night
And by morning, grace has slipped away
Gotta know how to say thank you
