She wanted a child

I didn't

Yet it was easy for her

With her arguments

To give you a dad

Cécile, my girl

When her belly grew round

Laughing out loud

She told me "Come on, rejoice"

It'll be a boy

And here you are

Cécile, my girl

And here you are

And here I am

I'm thirty

You're six months

We're nose to nose

Eye to eye

Which of us is more amazed

Long before I had you

I'd had some girls

Gambling my heart heads or tails

From the brunette I won

To the blonde I lost

Cécile, my girl

And I know that soon

You too will have

Ideas and little flings

Sweet words on your tops

And hands on your stockings

Cécile, my girl

I'll wait up for you all night

Hear you come in without a sound

But in the morning I'll be the one blushing

Before your eyes clearer than ever

May you always be touched

Like I do now

Like my breath on your lashes

My kiss on your mouth

In your child's sleep

Cécile, my girl
