I'm
keeping
the
bed
warm
while
her
husband
is
away
Je
garde
le
lit
chaud
pendant
que
son
mari
est
parti
He's
on

trying
to

en
ordre

quand
même
We

On
rit
et
on

nos
erreurs
And
if
there's
a
reason
i'm
by
her
side
Et
s'il
y

une
raison
pour
laquelle
je
suis
à

many
have
tried
Alors
que
tant
d'autres
ont
essayé
Then
i'm
wiling
to
wait
for
it
Alors
je
suis
prêt
à
attendre
