Prologue lyrics

[YOUNG AMÉLIE]

My parents tell me all the time

That times are hard for dreamers

And then I'm told

That I'm not old enough to disagree

But when I'm looking out my window

I can see the world I'm dreaming

All around me

It's when I'm dreaming that my house becomes a giant snowglobe

And when I shake it I'm a snowflake floating down the street

And as I'm falling to the ground the world is reaching out to catch me

Though we've yet to really meet

[MEN]

Rafael Poulain

Likes giving salutes

[LUCIEN]

In his army doctor uniform

[COLLIGNON]

Always liked the idea of a daughter

[RAPHAEL]

But not so sure now that I've got one

[BLIND BEGGAR]

He likes to swim

But dislikes wet swimming suits

[JOSEPH]

Likes to clean

And organize his tools

[HIPOLITO]

He likes his daughter in theory

[MEN]

But doesn't really like it when he

[RAPHAEL]

Has to touch her
