Verse

La robe de soie blanche est rangée

The white silk dress is packed away

Les flashs et la musique s'arrêtent

The flashbulbs and the music stop

On a traversé le jardin jusqu’au portail

We walked the garden to the gate

Une marche calme au grand air

A quiet walk in evening air

Chorus

C'est mon image préférée

This is my favorite frame

Une douceur dans le noir

A kindness in the dark

C'est mon image préférée

This is my favorite frame

Verse

Le vieux Pierre était seul et fatigué

Old Pierre was tired and alone

Il s'est perdu vers la voiture

He lost his way toward the car

Tu as pris son bras si doucement

You took his arm so very soft

Aucun objectif n'a vu cette grâce

No cameras saw the grace there

Juste les étoiles sur le gravier

Just stars above the gravel path

Chorus

C'est mon image préférée

This is my favorite frame

Une douceur dans le noir

A kindness in the dark

C'est mon image préférée

This is my favorite frame

Mieux que les photos posées

Better than the formal shots

Bridge

La fête était pour tout le monde

The party was for everyone

Ce moment n'était qu'à nous

This moment was for only us

Ta lampe éclaire son manteau emprunté

Your lamp shines on his borrowed coat

Aider quelqu'un à rentrer chez lui

Helping someone find their home

Chorus

C'est mon image préférée

This is my favorite frame

Une douceur dans le noir

A kindness in the dark

C'est mon image préférée

This is my favorite frame

Mieux que les photos posées

Better than the formal shots

Outro

On attend que sa lampe du couloir s’allume

We wait until his hallway light comes on

Il salue avant notre retour vers notre chambre

He waves before we turn toward our room
