Avant toi
Aveuglé de misère
Mon unique lumière
Était celle de DieuAvant toi
A l'orée de l'enfanceJ'ai surpris la souffrance
Avant d'ouvrir les yeux
Avant toije n'eus pour toute famille
Que quelques pauvres filles
Belles de nuit, de jour
Qui sans joieM'ont appris bien des chosesQu'au fond des maisons closes
On croit être l'amour Avant toi
A quinze ans pitoyable
Dans un hôtel minableJ'ai laissé ma vertu
Avant toi
La faim collée au ventreJ'ai poussé la goualante
Dans les cours et les rues
Avant toiJ'ai connu la violenceJusqu'au jour où la chance
Simplement m'a trouvé
Et pour moi
Qui fréquentais les bouges
On mit le tapis rouge
Et Paris à mes pieds Avant toi
Un moment j'ai pu croire
A une belle histoire
Mais le rêve fut cours
Avant toi
Une mort un scandale
Dans les rues de PigalleEt tout le bruit autour Avant toi
Chargé de tous les vices
On me prétend complice
On met ma vie à nu
Et les voix
De tous ceux qui m'accusentQue les radios diffusent
Me rejettent à la rue Avant toi
De déboires en déboires
La route de la gloire
Fut un chemin de croix
Mille foisJ'ai entrevu le vide
Mais Dieu restait mon guideL'amour restait ma foi Avant toi
De bateaux en rivages
De marins en naufrages
Je scrutais l'horizonAvant toi
Mes amours éphémères
Milord ou légionnaire
Sont devenus chansons
Avant toi
Les petits bals de FranceDéroulaient mes souffrances
En mille variations
Sous les doigts
Secs et longs d'un artiste
Tournaient les âmes tristes
Grâce à l'accordéon Avant toi
Au sommet de la gloireJ'avais du mal à croire
A l'amour éternel Avant toi
De folie en folieJ'ai dépensé ma vie
En aimant au pluriel Avant toiJ'attendais avec fièvreQu'enfin ce jour se lève
Où ma main tracera
Une CroixSur mon passé d'angoissePour qu'en mon coeur s'effacentTous mes jours d'avant toi
