I Wish [French translation]

I wish that I could be your coat,

your hat, your glove or shoe,

then I'd know that sometimes

I could be close to you.

I wish that I could be the pillow

where you lay your head each night,

then I'd know that sometimes

you would hold me tight.

We used to be so close

but now we’re so far apart.

You walked out of my arms

but you stayed in my heart.

I wish that I could be

the mirror that you look into,

then I'd know that sometimes

I could be close to you.

I wish that I could be part of

the ground that you walk on

and I’d be close to your lips

if I could be your telephone.

I wish that I could be one of the

doors that you walk through,

then I'd know that sometimes

I could be close to you.
