by Mack David, French original by Edith Pliaf
Hold me close and hold me fast,
This magic spell you cast,
This is La Vie En Rose.
When you kiss me, Heaven sighs,
And though I close my eyes,
I see La Vie En Rose.
When you press me to your heart,
I’m in a world apart,
A world where roses bloom;
And when you speak, Angels sing from above;
Every day words seem to turn into love songs.
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La Vie En Rose.
