Joe Dassin — Et Si Tu N'Existais Pas lyrics

Lyrics

And if you did not exist
Tell me why do I exist
To linger in a world without you
Without hope or regret
And if you did not exist
I would try to invent love
Like a painter who sees with his fingers
Birth of colors of day
And who doesn’t return
And if you did not exist
Tell me for whom I live
Passers-by sleep in my arms
Who I won’t never love
And if you did not exist
I’d be nothing more than a point
In this world that comes and goes
I’d feel lost
I’d have a need for you
And if you did not exist
Tell me how do I exist
I could make a semblance of me But I would not be true
And if you did not exist
I would have found it The secret of life, the why
Simply to create you
And to look at you
