Et si tu n'existais pas Dis-moi pourquoi j'existerais? Pour traîner dans un monde sans toi Sans espoir et sans regret Et si tu n'existais pas J'essayerais d'inventer l'amour Comme un peintre qui voit sous ses doigts Naître les couleurs du jour Et qui n'en revient pas Et si tu n'existais pas Dis-moi pour qui j'existerais? Des passantes endormies dans mes bras Que je n'aimerais jamais Et si tu n'existais pas Je ne serais qu'un point de plus Dans ce monde qui vient et qui va Je me sentirais perdu J'aurais besoin de toi Et si tu n'existais pas Dis-moi comment j'existerais? Je pourrais faire semblant d'être moi Mais je ne serais pas vrai Et si tu n'existais pas Je crois que je l'aurais trouvé Le secret de la vie, le pourquoi Simplement pour te créer Et pour te regarder, oh Et si tu n'existais pas Et si tu n'existais pas Et si tu n'existais pas Oh, oh Et si tu n'existais pas
