World’s Best Mom
[AMANDINE, SPOKEN]
It just goes to prove Zeno's paradox
We all remain completely alone forever
Never touching
Put your coat on
[YOUNG AMÉLIE]
World's best mom
[AMANDINE, spoken]
All of life is a lesson
[YOUNG AMÉLIE]
She may not know what to say
[AMANDINE]
We're be spending the day at Notre-Dame
[YOUNG AMÉLIE]
World's best mom
[AMANDINE, SPOKEN]
I have a good idea, you'll see
[YOUNG AMÉLIE]
World's best mom
[AMANDINE, SPOKEN]
Wait!
[YOUNG AMÉLIE]
She may not know what I need
[AMANDINE, SPOKEN]
Slow down!
[YOUNG AMÉLIE & COMPANY]
Now the whole world of Paris picks up speed
As we stroll hand in hand to this cathedral
And in through the doors of Notre-Dame
With my mom
[YOUNG AMÉLIE (AMANDINE, SPOKEN)]
World's best mom (Be quiet)
World's best mom (Are you ready?)
World's best (Let's pray)
[AMANDINE]
A little help down here?
You know I'm really not that strong
And it's very clear
That my daughter's been a life long problem
Every night there's always something wrong
So I could use a son
[COMPANY]
A son
[AMANDINE]
To make everything right, sing along
[YOUNG AMÉLIE]
We could use a son
[AMANDINE]
He would be my pride and joy
[YOUNG AMÉLIE & AMENDINE]
We could use a son
[AMANDINE]
I'd be much better off with a boy
[COMPANY]
The prayer goes up like incense
Through the stained glass window to a ledge
Where stood a tourist from Brussels
Inching up to the edge
[AMANDINE]
We'll come back again next Sunday
It never hurts to give these things a try
Let's hope that someone is up there
[TOURIST]
Goodbye
Goodbye!
