J'écoutais sweet baby james


C’était loin en décembre, je me souviens encore
Du désordre étudié dans le fond de ta chambre
De la neige dehors qu'on regardait descendre
De nos cœurs surtout qui tourbillonnaient fort

De nous deux, c’était toi qui avais l’expérience
T’as monté la radio d’un ou deux crans de plus
Ça m’arrangeait j’avoue, j’avais peur des silences
Et d’un coup la chanson a démarré immense
T'as murmuré deux mots mais je n'entendais pas

J’étais perdu dans mes lune lointaines
J’écoutais Sweet Baby James
Après un long baiser, t’as dit "est-ce que tu m’aimes ?"
J’ai menti, j’allais pas dire quand même
Que j’écoutais Sweet Baby James

Je m'souviens de mes doigts qui battaient le tempo
D’une suite d’accords qui me donnait la fièvre
Je n’aurais dû penser alors rien qu’à tes lèvres
Qu'à tes regards brûlants et qu'au miel de ta peau

J’ai jamais dit les mots que tu rêvais d’entendre
Je me souviens toujours de tes longs cheveux noirs
Des longueurs du couloir quand j’ai quitté la chambre
De la neige-miroir dans le froid de décembre
Et de l’étrange voix qui avait chanté l’histoire
J’étais perdu dans mes lignes lointaine
Et j’écoutais Sweet Baby James
J’aurais dû retourner, t’expliquer que quand même
J'ai jamais voulu te faire de peine…
Et que j’écoutais Sweet Baby James

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
