Written in 2003, “Everyday” is sung by Pierre and Caron – the parents of Jacques. Both sing it from different locations (Pierre is in jail for his crimes). Although starting from different premises, it concludes with a reaffirmation of their love for each other.
Everyday
(Pierre and Caron)
Everyday, I think of all the actions of my past,
Everyday, I wonder how long here I will last,
Everyday, I only see,
All this pain and agony,
If only she had changed my destiny.
Caron:
Everyday, I wish he didn’t come into my life
Everyday, I regret the day I chose to be his wife,
Everyday, I only see,
Years of pain and misery.
But why must this love stay to torment me…
Pierre:
All this time I try to ease the pain.
Caron:
Try to ease my pain.
Pierre:
Yet the pain and guilt drive me insane.
Caron:
The tears still remain.
Pierre:
Remorse, sorrows, eat me from within.
Caron:
Help me to begin.
Pierre:
No tomorrows, if she’s not with me.
Caron:
A new life that’s free.
Pierre:
Everyday without her by my side,
Caron:
Every day I try to hide.
Pierre:
Hurts me more than I can say.
Caron:
I think of him everyday.
Pierre:
If I could take back the
Pierre (together):
Words I said,
Caron (together):
Price I paid…
Pierre (together):
The tears she shed,
Caron (together):
Is years I had.
Pierre:
I’ll redo,
Caron:
Yet all I feel,
Pierre (together):
This painful dream.
Caron (together):
Is love for him.
Pierre:
At last redeem!
Caron:
Everyday, I wonder if I
Caron (together):
Made the correct choice.
Pierre (together):
I still hear her voice.
Caron:
Everyday, I understand I
Caron (together):
Could not have both boys.
Pierre (together):
That gives simple joys.
Pierre (together):
Everyday I think of her, even though she’s far away.
Caron (together):
Everyday I think of him, even though he’s far away.
Pierre:
Everyday, she’s all that I live for.
Caron:
Everyday I miss him more and more.
My heart belongs to her everyday.
Caron (together):
My heart belongs to him everyday.
