Song Information
Michel Jourdan and Julie D'Aimé (she had already worked for Patricia Kaas) wrote the text, while Calogero and his brother Gioacchino composed the music, as for the other tracks on the album. The song is a pop/ballad song in which the singer evokes the absence of his father and how he misses him. He expresses that he would be happy if his father had a relationship with him.
"Si seulement je pouvais lui manquer" was a part of many French compilations released in 2005, such as Hits For Teens, Les Plus Belles Voix 4, Hit Connection - Best of 2005, Hits Superstars 2005, Only Hits 2005 and Les Plus Belles Ballades. It was also available on the charity album Solidarité Asie, as fourth track.
The song was performed by the singer during his first concerts tour and was thus included on the live album Live 1.0 (ninth track, CD 1). For the moment, there are two cover versions of the song : first, in 2007, by Amel Bent, Francis Cabrel, Jean-Jacques Goldman and Raphaël for Les Enfoirés' album La Caravane des Enfoirés, on which it is the sixth track; then, in 2008, by Vox Angeli on their eponymous album (second track, 3:06).

Famous quotes containing the words song and/or information:
“But see, the Virgin blest
Hath laid her Babe to rest:
Time is our tedious song should here have ending;
Heaven’s youngest teemed star,
Hath fixed her polished car,
Her sleeping Lord with handmaid lamp attending;
And all about the courtly stable,
Bright-harnessed angels sit in order serviceable.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“I was brought up to believe that the only thing worth doing was to add to the sum of accurate information in the world.”
