Francis, you have so much to say
But it all remains locked away
And when you no longer know what to say
You start to cry
But your audience doesn't see that
You inspire them to dream
While you watch them

Francis, the words remain stuck
In front of this girl who asks for nothing more
Than to be loved
But you don't know how to go about it
Your throat tightens and your heart beats faster
While your eyes are on her

But I won't forget you
And I'm counting on you
To help
Those who feel for you
What you write in
These songs for her

Francis, I'm leaving soon
And I'm thinking very, very much of you
While my fingers on the piano
Play everything I owe you
And remember that you can
Have the world at your feet
If you don't let yourself be beaten
By those who leave you aside

But I won't forget you
And I'm counting on you
To help
Those who feel for you
What you write in
These songs for her

But I won't forget you
And I'm counting on you
To help
Those who feel for you
What you write in
These songs for her
