[YOUNG AMÉLIE]
In my mother's school house
I would sit at the kitchen table
And listen to her teach geometry
She taught me about distance
She taught a lesson about
A boat that is sailing the sea
Trying to get from point A to B
So the little boat's traveling at full sail
And it's trying to reach the shore
But whenever the boat gets halfway there
There's always halfway more
You take half of half
And half of that
So on and on and so
In my mother's schoolhouse
There was always halfway to go
[YOUNG AMÉLIE & AMÉLIE]
To go
[AMÉLIE]
Little boat, big ocean
I'm the girl with the copper spyglass
Who prays that today she will spot her shore
All at once a lighthouse
All at once through the copper spyglass
A light telling me to lean in on the oar
I start to row
In my mother's school house
I would sit at the kitchen table
And listen to her teach geometry
She taught me about distance
She taught a lesson about
A boat that is sailing the sea
Trying to get from point A to B
So the little boat's traveling at full sail
And it's trying to reach the shore
But whenever the boat gets halfway there
There's always halfway more
You take half of half
And half of that
So on and on and so
