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
