Plus Je Te Regarde (Hi-Heel Sneakers)
Johnny Hallyday · Hallelujah [1965]
Plus je te trouve jolie
Et plus mes yeux s'attardent
Sur tes lèvres, plus tu rougis
Pourquoi baisser les yeux ?
Ton regard me rend si heureux
Et plus les heures passent,
Plus je te veux dans mes bras
Plus vite je me lasse
Des autres filles que je vois
Moi qui aimais changer
Je ne vis plus que pour t'aimer
Et plus je te regarde,
Plus ton sourire me séduit
Plus je te regarde,
De plus en plus je me dis
Que la chance m'a souri
Et que l'amour te rend bien plus jolie
Que la chance m'a souri
Et que l'amour te rend bien plus jolie
Bien plus jolie
Ouais.
