Elle avait les yeux clairs et la robe en velours
A côté de sa mère et la famille autour
Elle pose un peu distraite au doux soleil
De la fin du jour

La photo n'est pas bonne mais l'on peut y voir
Le bonheur en personne et la douceur d'un soir
Elle aimait la musique, surtout schumann
Et puis mozart

Comme toi
Comme toi
Comme toi que je regarde tout bas
Comme toi qui dors en rêvant à quoi
Comme toi

Elle allait à l'école au village d'en bas
Elle apprenait les livres, elle apprenait les lois
Elle chantait les grenouilles
Et les princesse qui dorment au bois

Elle aimait sa poupée, elle aimait ses amis
Surtout ruth et anna et surtout jérémie
Et ils se marieraient un jour peut-être à varsovie

Comme toi
Comme toi
Comme toi que je regarde tout bas
Comme toi qui dors en rêvant à quoi
Comme toi

Elle s'appelait sarah elle n'avait pas huit ans
Sa vie, c'était douceur, rêves et nuages blancs
Mais d'autres gens en avaient décidé autrement

Elle avait tes yeux clairs et elle avait ton âge
C'était une petite fille sans histoire et très sage
Mais elle n'est pas née comme toi,
Ici et maintenant

Comme toi
Comme toi
Comme toi que je regarde tout bas
Comme toi qui dors en rêvant à quoi
Comme toi
