It was a winter evening, I came home not too late
The atmosphere was light, you were doing your homework
You looked at me with a look that was happy to see me
I found you full of lights, outside, it was completely dark
I didn't tell you that I was proud, I smiled at you without knowing it
It was a summer evening, we were coming back from your training
Your slightly tired faces, and your inspiring blue eyes
On the radio, it kicked your rappers of the moment
In the car we were singing, how could it be otherwise?
The sun didn't want to set, it took advantage of our moment
Was it a waking dream?
I don't want the night to end
Can we keep dreams, if we wanted to?
Was it a waking dream?
I don't want the night to end
Can we keep dreams, if we wanted to?
It was winter early in the morning, just before daybreak
Your serene sleeping eyes, around the breakfast table
There was the smell of the toaster, and you were telling me your dreams
Funny stories about sharks and sailors being kidnapped
It was a common morning but a common privilege
It was summer in the countryside, there were beautiful clearings
Maybe it was in the mountains, dreams aren't very precise
You told me that this sunscreen was difficult to apply
There was happiness everywhere and you wanted to get more
I stayed with you all the time, so I wouldn't feel you growing up
Was it a waking dream?
I don't want the night to end
Can we keep dreams, if we wanted to?
Was it a waking dream?
I don't want the night to end
Can we keep dreams, if we wanted to?
When they learn to read, we age helplessly
I think we were children until we had them
And if helping them grow makes us lose a little innocence
I want to become an adult, if it means being a dad
Was it a waking dream?
I don't want the night to end
Can we keep dreams, if we wanted to?
