Alouette-uette-uette
Plume élevé l'aile
In my beginning, there was nothing
So empty
In the space between
And you came in
Turned the lights on
And created what it's came to be
Before I pluck your wings cover me please
spread your wings cover me and
Promise this if I die before I wake, oh
Promise this take a time to say your grace
On your knees you pray for me
Promise this, be the last to kiss my lips
Alouette-uette-uette

Déployer l'aile

Alouette-uette-uette
Plume élevé l'aile
Though I'm walking
Through the shadows
You are with me
and you comfort me
Lay me down now, time for sleeping
But before that would you,on me
Before I pluck your wings cover me
Please spread your wings cover me and
Promise this if I die before I wake, oh
Promise this take a time to say your grace
On your knees you pray for me
Promise this, be the last to kiss my lips

By a thread we're hanging on
And I hope you don't let go
If you ever leave me
No, I wanna go with you
Promise this if I die before I wake, oh
Promise this take a time to say your grace
On your knees, you pray for me
Promise this, be the last to kiss my lips
