My aunt used to live in Paris. I remember, she used to come home and tell us these stories about being abroad and I remember she told us that she jumped into the river once, barefoot.
She smiled...
Leapt, without looking And tumbled into the Seine The water was freezing She spent a month sneezing But said she would do it again
Here´s to the ones who dream Foolish as they may seem Here´s to the hearts that ache Here´s to the mess we make
She captured a feeling Sky with no ceiling The sunset inside a frame
She lived in her liquor
And died with a flicker I´ll always remember the flame
Here´s to the ones who dream Foolish as they may seem Here´s to the hearts that ache Here´s to the mess we make
She told me: "A bit of madness is key To give us new colors to see Who knows where it will lead us? And that´s why they need us"
So bring on the rebels The ripples from pebbles The painters, and poets, and plays
And here´s to the fools who dream Crazy as they may seem Here´s to the hearts that break Here´s to the mess we make
I trace it all back to then Her, and the snow, and the Seine Smiling through it She said she´d do it again
