Je te dis merci

You, the composer, poet, and author, who knows the flowers
You, who weaves love with the word always
Could you create what I need to help me hold on to her
Write me a beautiful chorus that rhymes with come back
For the joys you’ve given me, I thank you
For your tenderness, your love, thank you
And for all those nights of patience
Alone waiting for me, thank you again

For your smile every day, I thank you
With tears in my eyes sometimes too
But long before me, another said
That no one can separate what God has joined

If I’ve sometimes confused a return with a detour
Know that all these paths led me nowhere
A hundred times I’ve played you, and a hundred times I’ve won finding you
It will always be to you that my arms will reach out

For the joys you’ve given me, I thank you
For your tenderness, your love, thank you
And for all those moments of silence
My nights of absence, thank you again

For wanting to listen to me again, I thank you
For putting everything in the past, thank you
But this time I come back certain
To finally place my heart next to yours

For the joys you’ve given me, I thank you
For your tenderness, your love, thank you
And for all those nights of patience
Alone waiting for me, thank you again

For your smile every day, I thank you
With tears in my eyes sometimes too
But long before me, another said
That no one can separate what God has joined
