I will be adding a file in a few days that enable you to generate various exercises and worksheets based on this song. Bear with me and come back at the end of the week!
This is a beautiful song from Toy Story 2 about love, love lost and love regained.
And here are the parallel lyrics in French and English.

I would be fascinated to hear how you would exploit this song and at what level of age ability. Leave some ideas that others can benefit from!
For example at what level of ability would pupils be able to make a comparison of the French and English texts to work out if it is an exact translation or liberal interpretation? Is the title translated differently? What could pupils produce creatively using this song as an inspiration? Their own poems? A short film? A letter written between the people involved? A wordcloud of all the words this song evokes?
