by Charles Fuster (1866 - 1929)

Si le bonheur avait des ailes
 (Sung text for setting by H. Bemberg)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Si les parfums avaient des ailes
De la main que je vois trembler
Et qui sent les roses nouvelles,
Ils ne voudraient plus s'en aller !

Si le sourir avait des ailes,
En voyant ta bouche s'ouvrir,
Près du rayon de tes prunelles,
Il ne saurait plus les ouvrir.

Si le bonheur avait des ailes,
Mais venait un jour ; à chanter
Sur le plus doux cœurs fidèles,
Il les briserait pour rester !
