Quand tu, quand tu me prends dans tes bras

Quand je regarde dans tes yeux

Je vois qu'un Dieu existe

C'est pas dur d'y croire

Before I met you, I wasn't terribly lucky

Every Prince Charming lost charm after twelve

But then you came and made the past look so funny

Put my old sadness to sleep on a shelf

If this was meant to be

Don't condemn me to be free

And even if we never marry

I will always love you, baby

Childishly

'Cause something

You've got something I can't resist

Things are what they will be

When I look into your eyes, they say to me that God still exists

And there's something

You've got something I can't resist

Things are what they will be

When I look into your eyes, they say to me that God still exists

You make me believe

I love the temperature and smell of your body

The shape of your lips and the size of your nose

I love that everything you say is so funny

Plus, you're the best kisser that I've ever known

You see the way I am

Without make-up, without clothes

And you accept me like nobody

And I will always love you, baby

With eyes closed

'Cause something

You've got something I can't resist

Things are what they will be

When I look into your eyes, they say to me that God still exists

And there's something

You've got something I can't resist

Things are what they will be

When I look into your eyes, they say to me that God still exists

You make me believe

Quand tu, quand tu me prends dans tes bras

Quand je regarde dans tes yeux

Je vois qu'un Dieu existe

C'est pas dur d'y croire

There's something, I believe

Something, I believe

There's something, I believe, I do

You make me believe

Je te désire
