Hold me close and hold me fast
This magic spell cast
This is la vie en ro - se
When you kiss me heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en ro-se
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
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be la vie en rose

I thought love was just a word
They sung a-bout in songs I heard
It took your kisses to reveal
That I was wrong, and love is real

Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas
Je vois la vie en ro - se
Il me dit des mots d'amour
Des mots de tous le jours
Et ça me fait quelque chose
Il est entré dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause
C'est lui pour moi
Moi pour lui dans la vie
Il me l'a dit, l'a juré pour la vie
Et dès que je l'aperçois
Alors je sens en moi, mon coeur qui bat
la la la
