How To Tell Time lyrics
How To Tell Time lyrics
[BRETODEAU, spoken]
Hello? Hello?
[AMÉLIE, spoken]
Look down, Monsieur Bretodeau
[BRETODEAU, spoken]
What?
[AMÉLIE, spoken]
Down...
[BRETODEAU, spoken]
I... I don't understand
[AMÉLIE, spoken]
Look down
(sung)
On the ledge
[BRETODEAU]
A metal box
[AMÉLIE]
A rusty hinge
[BRETODEAU]
I know that lock!
[AMÉLIE & BRETODEAU]
Slowly crack the treasure open
[AMÉLIE]
Cat's eye marble
[BRETODEAU]
I forgot
[AMÉLIE]
A diecast car
[BRETODEAU]
My hiding spot. My trusty knife
[AMÉLIE]
Coins from the war
[BRETODEAU]
My father's watch
[AMÉLIE & BRETODEAU]
And so much more
I am Howard Carter stepping into Tutankhamen's tomb
[COMPANY]
Unlock the box!
[BRETODEAU]
I'm seven in the schoolyard
[COMPANY]
Unlock the box!
[BRETODEAU]
I hear my mother's voice, she's calling from the hall
[COMPANY]
Unlock the box!
[BRETODEAU]
My father handing me his wristwatch!
Here's how to tell time
How to tell time
[AMÉLIE & BRETODEAU]
How to tell time
How to tell time
[AMÉLIE]
How to tell
[BRETODEAU, spoken]
A Cognac, please!
